Jill, thanks for all these links, especially the ones discussing the decline (or not) of blogging. Blogging, like genealogy, or any other hobby or obsession waxes and wanes with our personal circumstances. While my blog is in a temporary hiatus, that's more about what's happening for me right now...including having an Internet connection which is reliable and not horrendously expensive. No doubt others have similar issues which derail them.
I have no idea what to do about my practically non-existent blogging but I know I love your blog and love it when others take the time to blog genealogy (-:
Thanks for the list! I've been enjoying reading through the posts you recommended. The conversation about blogging is really interesting, isn't it?
Thanks all for your comments. It is hard to keep the blogging going especially with life's interruptions. We can only do what we can do and sometimes we need a break to reinvigorate our interest.
I actually write in my Wordpress sites quite a lot - however I uses the Pages more than the blog section. Where I want to create structured content I find that the Pages in Wordpress works much better. Occasionally I want to write something more general and then I use the blog. I have a number of Wordpress sites but only one is linked to Geneabloggers - I have wondered about getting some of the others listed as else. Is that considered okay ?
