I would say that a blog is dead only after the official suicide note is posted as a last entry. Proper blog-ettiquitte would require one to post a 'blogabout' message if they were taking a few weeks or months off blogging. Child of Reagan is what I would call a 'zombie blog' - its lifeline status being unable to ascertain at the present time.
I am working on a Dead Blog Society" that features an 'endangered species blogroll'.
Dave Cournoyer began blogging in 2005 while studying Political Science at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. In 2006, he was elected Vice-President (External) his Students’ Union and served as Chair of the Council of Alberta University Students until 2007. Since then, he has worked as Communication Coordinator for Alberta’s official opposition party and for various advocacy and public policy groups. As well as writing on this blog, Dave also occasionally writes for publications such as SEE Magazine.
I guess 1 year!

ReplyDelete1 year sounds about right, I didn't want to quite rule them out as dead yet. :-)

Or does it EXPLODE

Thank you and good day.
Maybe it would be appropriate to say that Child of Reagan is in a "blog coma."
ReplyDeleteCool idea with the Dead Blogs Society, Aaron. I'll put a link up to it. A blog graveyard.
