Oh, of those choices, definitely no. 2. Although I have considered "forking" my blog to create a separate fork for my artwork, which I am interested in giving more exposure here... don't want to alienate a mostly reading audience by suddenly becoming too sales-y and self-promotional.
I generally maintain you should not split yourself. Multiple personalities get tedious. I think very few of your readers would mind even a one to one ratio. Your readable material is very readable and meaty. A side dish dessert of art should be welcome.
If "they" become upset,
They have no clue about why the SBD/STEEM is buffeted around by the whim of BTC.
They are not actually there to support you.
Scarcity mentality ;-)
