Here I am back again with my first thoughts in too many months.
Is there such a thing as a blog graveyard? I wonder how many people have started blogs but have not written on them for eons. I have certain blogs that I check everyday for new entries. A lot of my favourites - some friends, some missionaries, some people I have found out of the blue - now have dead blogs. I don't know how long an interval of not posting would deem a blog dead. Certainly in my books if I don't see a new entry in a month, than that blog is not worth checking every day.
The amazing thing is that these dead blogs stay recorded forever unless the author chooses to delete them. I have to admit though, that I am not one to read tons of entries on old blogs - unless it really piques my interest. I hate when I "google" an interesting person, open an attached blog, only to find they haven't posted anything for years. It is such a disappointment!! I want to hear what they have to say today and not years ago.
Blogs are good things, but having been a blogger I do understand it is not easy to keep them up!! It does take time and dedication. And the author doesn't see many results indicating that what you have written means anything to anyone but yourself. So it takes perseverance. But one never knows who just might be searching and find on your blog just what they needed at that moment. They may be your friends or a total stranger. And that is my motivation to keep on writing.
And so I have resurrected my blog. Who knows how long this run will last? Enjoy!
