It's dead Jim.
People aren't blogging like they used to. People have relented their control for ease of use. Almost no one blogs anymore, not when there is social media. Not when you don't have to pay for hosting, admin your own software, pay for a host name, etc. A while ago I moved to blogger, but it seems like a product that google doesn't care about. Features aren't being created. They've remove their iOS app from the store and it no longer works on the latest OS.
It may be something that makes a comeback, but I think that it's done for. Doesn't mean that I won't continue to blog while I sit on my front porch and complain about the neighborhood kids not staying off my lawn. It's just that people have moved to writing rants etc in Facebook or Twitter (storified of course).
I'm now trying a new app for my phone that I paid for since it's supposed to be the best one. The funny part? Uploading images is, and has been for a while, broken. And it's still my best option for blogging from my phone.
Long term I don't know if I'll be able to stay with blogger or if google will suddenly kill it. I just know that since I've been blogging it has helped me and I enjoy it. I like the record of who I was in The Past, not just what I looked / sounded like. What brought worry, joy, sadness, and reflection.
It's dead Jim, just not to me.
