Bloggers-RIP

I admit that I am a pretty lousy blogger. I don't keep up with posting often enough, I'm paralyzed by indecision about what to write, I forget to download the photos I want to share...I'm sure all 2 or 3 of the regular readers recognize this pattern of mine. I am however a great blog reader. I follow the blogs of some of my "real life" friends, other homeschool blogs, and a few decorating blogs. I mostly lurk quietly and gain inspiration, information, and (let's admit it folks) entertainment.

Recently I've noticed a trend among some of the blogs I regularly visit. Some has been erased, some have gone to by invitation only status, some are just at an end. Some folks have moved on and their blog no longer reflects their life. I understand but I still miss their insights. Other seem to have become victims of the comment section. (Ok, this is my imagined reason and I don't have any facts perhaps a case of one or two posts that folks may not have liked and the blogger just got sick of the heat.)

I won't say I endorse every opinion of these bloggers or even that I always agree with them but I did glean something from each of them and I miss their posts. It seems to proof that even in a virtual world folks move on and sometimes you find yourself in a new neighborhood.

Thanks Running River Latin School, Trivium Academy, Dragons in the Flower Bed, Socks and Books, Laura (and Calvin and Hobbes) From China to Scotland and Knitter Navy Wife-I miss you all in my little virtual world. I'm secretly hoping you aren't down for the count!

ETA: Now even more blogs are becoming private. I do miss the inspiration. An open life on the internet is difficult and invasive so I do understand but I still miss these blogs. Add Scholars in Residence to the list.
