Bloggers are a strange bred... and I should know because I'm one. In all honesty, I was looking over some "blogger of the day" archives from only a year ago and you know what I found? At least half of the blogs featured either don't exist anymore and haven't been updated in months. I guess it's odd to believe that people would continue writing a blog for years on end without anyone, or the wrong people, reading it. Being able to publish your thoughts and feeling on the Internet with relative ease is new and many people probably posted things they shouldn't have. You have to be conscious of what your posting. Your blog is a reflection upon yourself and while you can write under a pseudonym but it only goes so far. My pseudonym, for example, could easily reveal my identity if anyone put some serious time into it. That being said, I am proud of this blog. The reason I don't use my full name is that I don't want acquaintances, employers, or other random people finding it. I don't hide it but I also don't put in it on facebook or myspace.
I really don't know what my point is. I guess I'm basically saying why don't people keep their blogs going?
