I Am Not Going Down Without A Fight

Yes, my friend. You read that correctly; I am certainly not going down without a fight.

And, what fight am I referring to?

I am referring to keeping on blogging despite there being more attractive alternatives to blogging; such as vlogging and podcasting.

Hey, someone needs to do their part to keep blogging alive (And, I am sure that there are bloggers on WordPress who feel the same way as I do).

Blogging Has Existed For Quite A Long Time

Blogging has been around since the nineties.

Ironically some people think that blogging has died.

But, if they were blogging on WordPress, they would think differently.

Those of us who use the Reader regularly to find new blogs have seen firsthand how busy WordPress really is.

Many people from around the world are blogging as if there is no tomorrow.

Some People Have Given Up Blogging For Vlogging

Truthfully, we cannot stop anyone from vlogging (After all, it is their prerogative to dabble with vlogging if they want to).

Also, as much as I hate seeing bloggers give up on blogging, they are free to do that too.

Apparently, it is easier for some people to talk in front of a camera, edit their content and upload their videos to YouTube.

If I were to venture into the area of vlogging, I would certainly embed my vlog into my blog; I would not abandon the blog that I invested so much of my time in.

Anyway, what some people hate is investing a lot of their time into blogging and not seeing the number of views that they would like to see.

Yes, looking at WordPress Stats can be depressing for some people.

Imagine yourself receiving less than half of the incoming views that your blog received approximately two years ago (That sort of thing can make bloggers wonder if blogging is still worth their while).

Also, if they are getting more incoming views via vlogging, they may be tempted to vlog more and blog less or give up on blogging entirely.

Podcasting Is An Attractive Option

I will admit that there are people who are great behind a microphone; they are great orators and they even have the voice for it.

Hey, if a person has a natural talent for podcasting, they might as well create podcasts.

Like vlogs, podcasts can also be embedded in your blog.

There is really no need to abandon your blog.

The Blogosphere Will Always Be In Need Of Good Bloggers

If all the good bloggers disappeared, we would have a serious problem on our hands.

Luckily for us (and for the blogosphere too), there are good bloggers on various blogging platforms filling cyberspace with their wonderful blog posts.

So, from the looks of things, blogging is not dying anytime soon.

New People Are Joining WordPress All Of The Time

Are there people leaving WordPress?

Yes, it is true that people turn their backs on WordPress.

However, there are people joining WordPress daily; as soon as someone goes, another one joins the rank of WordPress bloggers.

Final Thoughts

Once there are people on the planet who love reading and writing, there will be a sector of society that will gravitate toward blogging.

The death of blogging has been overly exaggerated.

While blogging may not be as appealing as vlogging and podcasting, blogging is still very much alive (And, you better believe that my friend, because it is the truth).
