I like the idea of you going back to sharing snippet-style posts. When I started blogging, as opposed to keeping a personal journal, most of my posts were like that – just little round-ups of things I’d seen that I thought were cool, with only a little commentary. But it also gave me a platform to publish longer, personal essays as and when I wanted to.

Blogging isn’t dead – it’s just very different. I don’t spend a lot of time browsing social media, because now my non-work internet time is limited I prioritise my own blog and longer-form reading rather than watching tweets etc as they come in the way I used to. Had I seen your tweets, I’m not sure I would have had any recommendations for you anyway as most of what I’m reading is from the lifestyle-type bloggers that have made, or are attempting to make, a career out of it and I doubt that type of content would interest you (although I do still have a rotating blogroll on LYG, because I am an internet pensioner).

I couldn’t tell you why I’ve never stopped blogging, but I can’t imagine doing it now. Force of habit. I feel as though a lot of the writers out there are now using newsletters, such as Tinyletter, rather than blogs for longer form content now. They read like blog posts of old, but obviously without that same community in the comments.

As an internet pensioner, I am still using RSS too, so I got a surprise when all your posts arrived this morning!
