Is Blogging dying? Should it be saved?


I haven't been here this calendar year and feel bad about it.

Not least because Charles Arthur's recent article in the Gruaniad suggested my abandoned loops were part of a trend. Although the Other Charles stimulated plenty of disagreement.

It seems to me that an unkept blog is a form of internet litter. So I am going to put a drop of oil on this one and start driving it again.

It's my baby and shouldn't be neglected. (That's just a way of getting in the picture, a print of which adorns my study wall).

Even though I'm not entirely convinced many of the earlier posts stand the test of time, I did win a Twitter poetry competition the other day, so maybe it's time to shove a bit more of my writing out into the faces of an already overloaded world.
