There are still hundreds, if not thousands, of new bloggers starting every day. Of course with those kind of numbers, you're going to have a bunch of bloggers, both big and small, quitting or taking an extended break. It does make for a good headline, though. I’d have to agree.

I think some just want a change or a chance to rebrand themselves or do something they enjoy more. Some leave to follow a dream or for service reasons. In short, blogging is just another type of communication -- human social interaction. Such has been with us for thousands of years and will continue. True, the platform and writers will change but the concept will remain because expression is a basic part of human nature. No, blogging is not dead.

In other words, are there any stats that track the number of blogs begun and then abandoned without fanfare? It's a particularly tough slog to be a niche blogger--there aren't any $32,000 ad revenues or book deals on the horizon. I've posted daily on my niche site for three years, and while I've built a nice little following among in my niche (ephemera), I wonder how many other D-list bloggers have the tenacity to stick to it like I do?
