I don't understand the pressure to post daily either, and when my hosting time need renewal, I'll have to make considerations too. But it is still worth it to me. Ganns my friend, I wasn't able to see your site or email you for well over a month.(ISP problems at this end to!) I'm glad to hear you are doing what you do so well, giving others a hand up. Blog on!

Isn't that odd? I've been unable to blog for almost two months, way too long by my standards. I'm starting something to jumpstart Filipino God-blogging, though, so it would be appropriate if I logged back on with that piece of news in place. God bless ya, Bene. :) Believe it or not, the man reason why it appears that I’ve stopped blogging is because my webmaster messed up my interface, and I can’t get into my blog. Isn’t that odd?

But I think the (de)motivations are the same - one has to decide what their expectations are for an audience. Is it just for friends, does one expect a big audience, is one actually annoyed by the strangers who wander in, or does one feel they're not getting enough comments (and/or compliments)? In short, as with all activities from bowling to sex, is one getting what they expected out of it? Hopefully, one at least asks "is anyone ELSE getting anything out of it?" but in the end people don't tend to keep doing things that they don't get paid for and which wear them out. Personally, my interest comes and goes, but so far never entirely. I don't understand the pressure that some people feel to post daily. Why announce that one is bailing? Why not just fade away?

We are about to lose a couple more. I can only hope that when they reach a point in their studies/voaction to resume blogging, they will do so. here in st blogs, we lose a number of bloggers annually when they join religious orders and/or enter seminary.

Basically I've simply lost interest in the whole process. Shortly after my 64th Birthday in late October I will need to renew my typepad membership. I suspect that will be decision time. Until then I'm leaning toward stopping it. So, I guess I mean by all this is that I can understand what you are going through. It's too bad...actually I hate to see both of us go.
