I\u2019ve read numerous blog posts about how blogging is dead\u2026ironic, blogs saying blogs are dead. Anyways, the reason blogging is not dead is because writing is not dead\u2026and never will be. Blogging is what most writers nowadays use as an avenue to express thoughts, be it macro or micro blogging.<\/p>\n

The art of writing with pen and paper or with a keyboard is not going anywhere\u2026as humans we instinctively have the need to create (whether you think you\u2019re creative or not, you are), and for so many of us that comes out in writing\/ blogging.<\/p>\n

So to say the writing tool known as blogging is dead is ridiculous. True, there are millions of blogs and who is really reading them? But damn, there are millions of books and who is reading them? Some blogs are great, but so many more suck\u2026same with books, but blogs are still the current wave of news\/ idea gathering for people and I don\u2019t see this trend ending at all. What a blog looks like might evolve\u2026but dead? Please.<\/p>\n

Back in the 1990\u2019s blogs were called journaling, now blogging\u2026that\u2019s an evolution, but it is STILL blogging either way, just different words. Is journaling dead? No\u2026it\u2019s called blogging now.
\nSo for all you bloggers that are trying to cause drama by using a headline like \u201cBlogging is dead\u201d\u2026be a bit more creative!!<\/p>\n

Cheers\u2026and Happy Blogging!<\/p>\n
