Quoting Ladymaggic:

I wonder how many people read blogs?
They used to be really interactive when there are not many blogs..then one has the time to read the blogs of your friends, and even go searching new people and their blogs.
Its exciting to see the number of people who have come and read your thoughts.
That was in the beginning when blogs were new, and when readers were not blog familiar, and when the writers all offered new things.
Today there are so many blogs, and so many people writing blogs...and also the length of the blogs seem to have got longer...some are missiles and full length articles..and what I have found is that..
Firstly, I no longer have the time to read all the blogs of all who have linked to me.
Secondly, when I go to read the blogs, they are often so long, and sometimes too personal, to be interesting, so I start reading and give up.
Thirdly, the blog that rambles on about feelings has started to irritate me..as I come here to learn something new, not to listen to complaints in text. (written nags)
Fourthly, I also realise people are not reading my blogs either...maybe for the same reasons I have listed, so the delight in writing them is there only for myself..

Got that off my chest..was trying to see if I can still write a blog as a non-gold member...
I did enjoy the free membership for the time it lasted.. Thank you SM..
Now I can only reply to emails...
