Blogging: The lost Art of posting your thought into the Void

Are Blogs still at all popular?

Back in 2007-2010ish~ I remember Blogs being all the rage (Or at least in my head they were).

I was not an avid blog follower, and by that I mean loyal follower. I never really kept up with only one blogger. I abandoned them pretty quickly after their one interesting post I found while surfing the web. But I did enjoy them from time to time.

I always wanted to have one where I actively updated it in a timely manner with interesting and funny posts where people would have intelligent grown-up and hilarious discussions about what I had just wrote =^_^=

 I wanted to be the next big thing The next IT Blogger *_*

But it never happened -________-

I can't really blame anyone for that but me (Of course) because I never stuck with one blog long enough to even attempt to see it walk (Let alone fly on its own). I was never consistent, I didn't even have a theme for any of my failed blogs. For many I didn't update them for months or even years and by then all my inspiration as well as the one or two lurkers I had captivated (lured) were long gone.

But a girl can dream, can't she?

Again and again I tried to revive some kind of routine, as well as inspiration for one (any) blog. Anyways nothing close to a consistent blog has happened to me yet.

Although I'm still trying as you can see....

But that leads me to my question - are blogs still popular? ...At all?

I still visit some blogs such as dulcecandy (don't know why and fyi is not even a blogs anymore) or leblogdebetty (let's exchange lives girl :D) but I rarely follow anyone new or hear from an 'IT' blog to follow.

I mean I guess I understand with the ever rising popularity of youtube, where you just have to talk to a camera and then show off all your new hauls and how your boyfriend does your makeup. I mean I get it. Point shoot, edit, post - Youtube is hard. But I do think writing a conscientious blogs post, editing it, choosing pics, and appealing to anyone with the old art of writing is much more difficult [Or at least more intellectual ;)]

I mean what is the point of me posting anything at all if my chances of getting even one follow is harder as the days go by.

But then again, I do want to write because it's genuinely fun and gratifying even if no one might be reading me. It just is. Plus it's something that relaxes me and makes me feel a small sense of accomplishment on these hard days :)
