Danny,

My blog, Bob McCarty Writes, is alive and well and still growing after two and a half years online. If, indeed, you're correct and most of the others die, it can only get better for me.

Great tip for those (like me) who are just starting out.

It is so important to keep a blog fresh or just kill it. No one likes to see something thrashing around and struggling before death. If you aren't interested in doing it anymore end it. Or move onto a new blog and let everyone know on that old one.

Danny,
Thanks for a great post, and a great reminder! It's the community that helps a blog stay at the top of its game.

Cheers!

Are you saying that we shouldn't post unless it's on par with the very most widely read blogs? Even if the niche actually really likes it?

Great reminder!

Tim Jahn: I can relate! We probably look strange, perhaps out of style. If it was about wardrobe, we'd be the ones dressed for a safari, having to make a minor stop in the city, causing everyone to stare and point. But if we're really going on a safari, may as well be dressed for it, right?

Very nice sir! Dare I ask a question? ;)

What would you say to really niche bloggers who write for a specific community (whether it be 10 people or 110 people) and have no interest in the "outside world"? Those not interested in getting on the top blog sites or becoming famous or affecting many outside their specific niche?

Well done Danny!

Very good post Danny and true. Blogging could be intense and sometime the blogger needs to pause for getting her new perspective. I found out that every time I pause my blog/influence/engagement stats goes down fairly quickly. Some times in the blogspher it feels like we live and die like butterflies - on a daily basis:)

Another reminder that we must keep our blog fresh, or it will surely go stale.

I came along this blog through a tweet by arikhanson on twitter, so this is my first time reading your blog and I'm glad I did, a refreshing clever post. You are a great writer.

Brilliant, sir. I have nothing of value to add. Just wanted to say this was brilliant.
