While we look at these lovely flower pictures that I took when Olivia and I were at the park the other day, can we talk about real stuff?
Well, not real stuff, but blog stuff.
I mentioned in a post recently that WordPress seems to be dying.
Everybody I ask says their stats are lower than last year. I get lots of likes, but way fewer comments than I used to.
Hey, I know it isn’t me… or my blog… I haven’t become less interesting.
Do people actually come to our blogs anymore? Or are they just commenting on individual posts without seeing even our main blog pages.
I do know that a lot of people that I really liked have left the blogging world, or only stop by now and then.
Are we wasting our time here? Are we the last rats on a sinking ship?
Just something to think about.
Pouring My Art Out 
I’ve noticed mine are lower, but that’s because I post a lot less than I used to. I also don’t post photography any more due to not being able to lift my camera often.
I try to visit as often as I can.
And I appreciate that… the visits, I mean.
Hmmm… My stats are through the roof. But I never got that many likes. And yes, the comments are drying up. I think the key is, only do it if it’s fun. When it starts to be a chore, stop.
I can’t ever stop… the crack squirrels will chew on my wiring again.
Can’t have that, can we?
no we cannot
You’re doing God’s work, thawing my frozen Canadian heart…
I am the global warming of blogging…
I think our stats drop when we don’t visit other blogs as much and don’t find new blogs to follow. I haven’t been reading (and posting, actually) as much, and my stats dropped somewhat. But I noticed that I’ve almost stopped seeing you on other blogs I follow, and if you have actually cut down on the reading and commenting, that could really hurt your stats, because that’s how new people can find you. That’s how I found you, by the way.
And I’m not complaining, because if there’s one blog where I definitely see you a lot, it’s mine. 🙂
It is a conundrum. People stop commenting on my blog, just hitting like. I end up feeling like I am doing all the work, so I cut down on my comments to them. Vicious cycle. Also, I have been really busy. HA!
And if you don’t visit other bloggers, they also feel like they’re doing all the work. 🙂
I never don’t visit people if I can…
