I've been at it over ten years and have accumulated maybe four readers, so blogging must be satisfying some sick need I have to type. The arrival of the Russian Usurper has just made it worse. I dislike podcasts and social media is where the mad people live, so I'll probably be The Last Blogger. All welcome, I don't moderate.

I guess constant turnover is a design feature of the platform. It's always fun to find a new blog to follow as old ones disappear.<br /><br />I have one troll in particular who turns up every couple of years. I recognize his style and the particulars of his metadata, so I always decline his comments. Once I know it's him, I barely even skim the comment. I like to imagine him as a lonely voice, crying for attention in the wilderness. He's not interested in real dialogue, just stirring up trouble and casting aspersions onto my personal life. In the wilderness, he will remain.bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-5276213457902930812019-11-23T21:10:26.834-07:002019-11-23T21:10:26.834-07:00@ Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness -- Thanks fo...@ Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness -- Thanks for the great link!Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-35759040168275339502019-11-23T17:02:46.407-07:002019-11-23T17:02:46.407-07:00https://www.messynessychic.com/2016/09/14/inside-l...https://www.messynessychic.com/2016/09/14/inside-le-monocle-the-parisian-lesbian-nightclub-of-the-1930s/?fbclid=IwAR0ynmotN6H4uzmX23VYWQ_j5Uk9k55GOIPjxDFS7t-WjSa65HcWsDVG4tkCal's Canadian Cave of Coolnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408150910056369989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-23093057434344733152019-11-23T08:32:39.115-07:002019-11-23T08:32:39.115-07:00I love blogging.

I tried Instagram last year, but found it was just too addictive and INSTANT as it were...it lacked the personal touch of blogging.

Very rare to find someone in their thirties and below that blogging is thought of as something your grandmother does. I have been doing it for 12 years and all my original blog friends and readers have disappeared years ago. The people left now seem to be more dedicated. I don't worry about readers, I blog as a release, I prefer having a small group of characters (like I do) to interact with. I actively try to stay under the radar. I have thought of quitting or maybe stopping for a while. Really when you think about it, if you enjoy doing it, then you have arrived at a good place. There is no point in putting pressure on yourself to blog. I know that I would miss it. Blogging is my line in the sand, I have no interest in Facebook or any of the other trending sites. I think those sites are for silly things like taking a selfie drinking coffee while blogs usually have more character behind the person.

I've been doing this over 15 years and not planning to stop. The problem sometimes is there are bloggers out there who simply use blogging as an income generator, I'm not here for the commercials. Nothing gives me more pleasure than finding a good honest blog.

I started writing about daily adventures and current events, burned out on the latter, and switched it up to focus more on hobbiesReadership has definitely fallen since the early aughts, comments too. A minuscule number of the people I used to regularly read still post. I've never been interested in moving to Instagram or Twitter, so at this point I just use the blog as a personal hobby journal.brewella devillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17239076401186979584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-87064785437134571782019-11-19T09:52:21.868-07:002019-11-19T09:52:21.868-07:00I used to be a blogger, for almost 6 years, until ...I used to be a blogger, for almost 6 years, until recently...then I was attacked by some odd traffic that didn't help in anyway...so I deleted it...completely !

Can't...<i>But is blogging on the wane these days?</i><br /><br />Can't say I've noticed, though I've heard people say that. Yes, I've seen a fair number of blogs go dark over the years, but there are also new people starting up. And there are always new blogs to discover, even if they're only new to <i>me</i>. So many times I've thought, "How come I only just discovered this person when they've been blogging for years?"<br /><br />Twitter and Instagram aren't suited to posts of any length. YouTube is so shitted up with ads these days that it's getting unwatchable. And I've never been able to figure out what Facebook <i>does</i> other than collect data on its users to sell to advertisers and spy on people.<br /><br />Part of the fascination of blogs is their individuality. Each blog is so different because each one represents the style and interests of its owner. I don't see any other medium on the internet which manifests that to the same degree that blogs do.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-4034130465942222672019-11-19T03:10:18.632-07:002019-11-19T03:10:18.632-07:00That's a great blog badge, will add it to my b...That's a great blog badge, will add it to my blog.<br />I love the blog community, it helped save my life back in 2008 so I will always be a blogger.<br />Keep on keeping on Debra.<br />Hugs<br />Peggy xxxmiruspeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980477108868960140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-66078568441757679162019-11-18T22:17:56.257-07:002019-11-18T22:17:56.257-07:00Count me among the die-hard bloggers, Debra.
