I meant to reply to this a month ago when you wrote it and am just now getting to it… which explains why my blogs are so infrequently updated. My old main blog (http://blog.gordaen.com) is mostly abandoned. I was my “talk about everything” blog, but I decided to create a separate technical/professional blog (http://blog.iangclifton.com) in order to split the topics into more useful groups. Now my old blog is rarely updated, except for the occasional post about something I sketched, and the tech blog focuses on Android and mobile/web technology in general, but I’ve gone toward a 3ish weeks between posts schedule. I’m simply taking on too many other things. I guess I ought to write a post today….

@ Luke Maciak:
no offense taken..
i just asked myself this question multiple times. :-D

@ Dr, Azrael Tod:

Heh, I was just joking around. You write where you have audience. :) I read several Polish tech blogs just because I can.

@ Chris Wellons:

I should probably go through all my Google Reader subscriptions and kick out all the blogs that have been stagnant for over a year. To lazy…

@ Jenn:

That’s funny. I wonder why they decided to film here – I mean, it’s not like crazy shit happens at MSU all the time. Or does it?

@ Luke Maciak:

It looked like he was on Valley Road. He was all like :'(

Hey, a link to me! :-) Thanks for those other links, too. I have some new blogs to follow.

Slowly but surely, most of these blogs dried up. It’s almost as if people were blogging less these days. Have you noticed that too?

I think, on average, blogs that make it more than a month still only live a couple years. So you have to constantly be adding blogs or you’ll end up only with long-going blogs. I annually cull dead blogs (no posts in > 1 year) from my reader to keep it tidy.

@ Luke Maciak:

Why? BECAUSE I CAN!
It’s still a bit easier for me and the aim of this blog was it to reach some of the people i know (as opposed to reaching as much people as possible). Those people all speak german, so it was the obvious choice.

Yes, i did.. wordpress was just too anoying for me. Writing such is not a really big problem, even doing it usable is not really a problem. Problems begin if you want to look at your code a year later without puking.
..oh and of course if you want to import this shit that wordpress has in it’s database. That’s just plainly horrible.

@ Alan:

What’s your dissertation on if you don’t mind me asking?

@ Alphast:

I think I already had yours in my RSS reader. :)

@ Victoria:

Someone always does it better – this is true for everything in life. To me blogging is about perspective and personality – that’s the unique thing you bring to the table. Each of us has a unique point of view, and unique frame of reference – that’s usually what I’m drawn to when I read blogs. Not necessarily the content (though content is important) but the style and personality of the blogger.

@ icebrain:

I hardly ever am away from a computer/smart phone. When inspiration strikes I usually log into wordpress, start a new draft and jot down some quick notes, or a rough outline and flesh it out later. Currently Terminally Incoherent has 77 drafts, some of which will probably become full posts, and some of which will get deleted. :)

@ astine:

Thanks! I feel honored to be your only blog-blog. :)

@ Eric:

I don’t think blogging is dying out – I think the “blogging fad” faded from public consciousness. Back in the day everyone and their mom had like 3 blogs each. These days “blog” is no longer a new and exciting buzzword. Most of the people who blogged about what they had for breakfast or about their cats, moved on to other media (including Twitter, Tumblr and etc). I guess only the strong, the determined and the profitable are left on the stage now.

@ Jenn:

Guys, do not search for adult tails. I don’t mind the torment – it’s entertaining.

LOL! Too funny. Where did they catch him?

@ Andrew Zimmerman:

I think I already had yours too. :)

@ Dr, Azrael Tod:

Y U NO BLOG IN ENGLISH! ;)

Did you write your own blog engine from scratch then?

I do have a blog, content could be interesting to you but…
It’s in german. :D

Besides i really need to rewrite some of my really bad underlying python-code and overhaul most of the site.

Here’s mine. Thanks.

I tell you to search for “adult tails” on Etsy and now I’m accused of TORMENT? Rude!

Thanks for the shout out for my blargh. Having a smartphone or notebook around at all times, @icebrain, makes blogging so much easier It’s not that I’m full of great ideas. It’s just that so many things happen at once. Don’t feel weird writing your thoughts in red lipstick on shower walls – great ideas DO happen there.
