Blogging - is it dying?

Hello Everyone,

I've been thinking! About blogging, and more specifically this blog, and whether it is, as some articles I've read recently are suggestion, dying or dead. So is this true? I'd say, no - it's just evolving. It's changed and is now very different to how it was 10 years ago, when I started this little blog, because it's competing with other platforms, e.g. Instagram, YouTube, etc.

Well, I had reason recently to look back on on old posts from a few years ago. What that confirmed was that keeping a blog was, for me anyway, very worthwhile, even after almost ten years. Looking back brought back so many memories, both happy and sad - my beloved crafty companion, Bonnie, featured a lot back then! So if you ever wonder if it is worthwhile keeping your blog, just look back on previous years - I found it fun to see how many projects I've worked on and how many friends I've made along the way too.

Incidentally, what struck me most from my trip down the years, was just how many cards I've made and shared and how few scrapbook pages. Given that I call myself the Silver Scrapper you would have thought the concentration would have been the other way round.

Particularly as I only started making cards to tackle the growing mountain of leftover paper scraps!

Must try harder!

So to wind up on this post and get back to the point, I sincerely hope blogging is not dead,  even though it's just one of the many platforms we have at our disposal that enables us to share our interests with others. I'd miss it too much, otherwise.

Whatever your views on blogging, I hope you will continue to pop in, whether regularly or periodically, and catch up with my doings.
