Teamwork: Your Thoughts?

Have you got more than one person writing for your blog? This week, my blog (www.atthesinema.blogspot.com) has opened its doors to two new writers.
There are obvious advantages: as I'm a music blog, we cover alot of genres and musical tastes between us, opening us up to wider market, and it means less work for me.
But, does working with others stifle your creativity?
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter,
Eileen

I'm the only writer, but I have many personalities.

  Haha- I suppose that's just as good as having several writers!
  I also love your blog by the way. It's made me laugh out loud in public places whilst reading it on my laptop on more than one occasion. Please never stop being so opinionated

Some birds only like to fly alone. I'm one of them.

  And it's quite clearly working out well for you- you've got some lovely thoughts on your blog
  I never really thought about having other writers on my blog; I go to college, and the work load's upped tenfold becauuase it's my final year. I asked some equally-music-obssessed characters to come write for me, and here we are. It's quite nice to know there's always someone writing for the blog, and that there'll always be something new on there for people to read, even when I'm off doing other things.

I might do teamwork but I am not consistent in my posting so better to walk alone!

  That's the great thing about working as a team when blogging- there's someone else to keep the blog running if you fancy a break.

Well my blog is about me, so unless any creepy stalkers want to write about me, I am on my own

Just added you over on last.fm, excellent musical taste.

  I happen to be the official stalker around here. Need my help?

  Haha, yeh I guess it could get a little wierd having someone else writing about you...
  The whole working-as-a-team thing is pretty fun though. Only set back so far is some of them are a little computer illiterate, so I'm giving them a bit of a crash course in HTML.
  Straight back at you on the whole music-tastes thing- you rock

  I am not allowed to tell you that spamming is evil.

Get some guest posters here and there to change things up.

  What DailyBeerReview said. I've been posting material written by my father-in-law in one of my blogs: But I'm very unlikely to make a regular habit of 'team blogging.'

  That's a pretty cool idea- I guess you have the benefits of a change of pace without giving a portion of your blog away, in a sense.
