More than 100 blogs per user

When invited by another user to a blog, Blogger.com doesn't invoke the 100 blog limit. Therefore:
  1. Use a different Google ID or Google Apps ID to create a new blogger.com blog
  2. Then invite the user ID which has hit the limit of blogs and make that user administrator once you have accepted the invitation 
Tip: best use different browsers so you won't have to switch the ID back and forth 
Why?

Blogger.com limits the number of blogs per user to 100. As many heavy blogger users, we create blogs for every project, many remain "private". We also create a lot of "blogs" as prototypes and we like to keep many prototypes as design archives and ideas for templates.

So hitting the ceiling of 100 blogs is not as crazy and rare as you might think. I hate wasting time to click through those archived blogs in order to delete some and make room for others. We try not to claim catchy blogspot URLs, we use cryptic ones like http://ttxt-design-02.blogspot.com/.

[I was recently asked by a blogger, if I still needed a particular old blogspot domain. Since that was not the case, I handed this over to him by first removing all old posts and then inviting him as administrator. Then we removed my name as admin "et voilĂ ", the old defunct blogspot blog had a new owner.]
