Many of them, however, were never intended to be blogs but were created by "spammers" who were just looking to stop/limit other bloggers form using the particular subdomain/blog name.I think Blogger really needs to clean up its image as being a portal for spam blogs, and request that the people who "create a blog just for the heck of it" re-approve their account or further have a verification process to deem the blog as not spam. @ aannttiiiittnnaa – You have quite a collection of ‘dead’ blogs.

I think Blogger really needs to clean up its image as being a portal for spam blogs, and request that the people who “create a blog just for the heck of it” re-approve their account or further have a verification process to deem the blog as not spam.

I find that excuses become more rampant around certain periods of the year (holidays, etc.); if you must make dozens of irrational excuses, is blogging really right for you?Despite the total number of blogs in the hundreds of millions, the number of active blogs has remained fairly stable, or even dropped a bit, due to the unwillingness to truly commit to their blogs. Thanks for your comment and added thoughts.

I would add the following:11. Plan your posts with headers and/or bulletpoints, instead of diving right into the detail; 12. Establish and maintain a posting frequency that is realistic for you; 13. Think about why your blog died before and how to stop it happening again. 14. Don't say you'll be back this time; just be there. I've seen far too many bloggers saying "no really, I'm back this time" for the second or third time, then disappearing a week or two later. Actions speak louder than words. Great post.
