Do you ever wonder how many blogs are just sitting and waiting for their owner to come back and post something new? Technorati found that only 7.4 million out of 133 million blogs had been updated in a 120 day period. These statistics are from 2008 so you can imagine what it must be now!
How do you recapture the zest of blogging? First, ask yourself if you ever had the zest to blog! If you didn’t really want to blog…then pull the plug. Delete the site, close the door, get the monkey off you back and clean up the internet.
