Just as bob reports that he's feeling better, and has started blogging again, Chris decides to put his blog on extended hiatus.
Could there be a malaise spreading in blogland?
Here are some quotes on why people give up their weblogs.
I'm not ready to throw in the towel, yet. No, not yet.
Mind you, I'm now up to 633 unread items in the aggregator. At some point, I'm just going to have to let the bits go.
But, right now, I think I need some sleep.

I think there may be something in the collective unconscious. Several people whose blogs I enjoy have been, if not on hiatus, then at least posting less frequently over the past month. Maybe everyone's just exhausted.

I had a personal blog before I launched Sixth World and I just ran out of things to say after a while. I guess blogging runs through cycles. Maybe some people start blogging to help with a problem and once they overcome the problem they just stop.
Blogging is very theraputic, at least for me!

Fascinating link on why people give up their weblogs.
The blogging universe is an example how unfettered communication leads to survival of the fittest.
Your new design looks great! Much easier on the eyes.

I'm up to 12,000 unread items. As you can guess I'm turning green.
