I think I've come to the conclusion that NYTimes and I don't have the same points of view at all. The writer only goes from the perspective of "having an audience" or "making money" from a blog, and because people don't get that, they stop blogging. But what if you just want to write and share things, and that's why you blog? You're less likely to give it up that way, and less likely to be disappointed when you don't get attention.

I hadn't read the article that way. Although it is quite glaring now that you mention it. You should write for Gawker/Jezebel =) And I agree, if you get some personal satisfaction out of blogging then you’re less likely to give it up. I will, no doubt, print my blog and have it stand as an extension of my journal someday—regardless of whether it made me money or had millions of readers. And then there’s this part (our conversation) that is one great bonus of blogging! Excellent point Stephanie. I hadn’t read the article that way. Although it is quite glaring now that you mention it.
