@WelshPixie I still have my first blog - it's still online and active, I still use it for blogging about my cycling tours but I couldn't keep up last year, just no time..
and yeah the blogging community is just not there anymore, you don't get any comments any more, there is no discussion, only if you do inflammatory political posts.
nothing about political posts, but I did one that was really simplified and shouty and it got soooo much response and then, on the same topic, a really thoughtful one.. nothing. ugh.
