Yes, The Death of Blogs. I recently had dinner with a friend in Pittsburgh who mentioned his appreciation for my blog. To put it in my language, he found the material posted a quasi-educational blessing with a variety of threads to find the specific updates he was looking for regarding family and thought life, not a continual self-centered ramble. I see blogging as a way to stay in touch with friends across distance, we keep an eye on one-another, through tools such as blogarithm but most of us don’t find the necessity to continuously post on our own blogs or those of others. It's great to re-engage one-another through personal emails, over the phone, in the community/local congregation, when visiting across long distances . . . Note: My first post, Why the blog?

The only blog with a wide comment/readership which I keep some track of is Jesus Creed . . . It appears to take a village to generate the material to post and truly a village responds. And although not regularly posting, I have followed many of the conversations and found them a blessing. Yesterday, I spent some time listening to audio files from Simply Orthodox: Focusing on the centrality of the gospel for everyday life and liturgy, which I came across through Jesus Creed as Scot McKnight is in one of the conversations.
