Wow, this post over on Threads struck a nerve. Haven’t gotten that many comments ever on Threads. So, let’s do it, let’s bring the good old blog-roll back. If you’re still tending to an online garden out of sheer joy of sharing, drop your link as a comment!
I’m still blogging (though I have to get around to uploading my archive since WP crashed a few years ago). Still reading blogs via RSS, like yours 😀

I am still blogging! I am an Italian who just moved to LA, therefore I decided to switch to English as my primary blogging language!

I’m not an old school blogger as such but had this url/site for a while and started properly gardening again a few years back and much more so this year. Many plans I’m excited about also. Just to see where it goes and who it resonates with, while remaining me.

Realising now that you meant to put urls IN the comment box documenteering.com

Agree entirely. There are too few web sites with genuinely interesting content these days. I used to enjoy clicking through blogrolls and finding weird and wonderful sites. With the rise of Facebook/instagram etc the personal blog has sort of faded hasn’t it ?

Been reading you via RSS for years and would love a good web ring / blog roll.

I’ve been posting about knitting and sewing since 2009 :)

I have been thinking about starting a blog to document my hobbies (crafts, baking, etc.), and this is the sign I need to just dive in. Thank you!

Still tending my little part of the web, sharing my passion for travel, reading, fashion, art, and ephemera at thegreygoddess.com.

Your blog has been in my RSS reader for years, and my daily experience of the web would be wrecked without your little corner of it and so many others like yours. My blog has never had any particular focus; it went dormant for a decade when I still engaged with corporate social media; and its pace varies a lot, but I’ve posted more to it this year than any year since 2006, and that feels good. May countless such gardens bloom! (Wasn’t that the original idea, anyway?)

Blogging about the different happenings in my life for nearly 15 years at trajectoryoflife.com. Each time AI tries to update my content to be more “SEO-friendly,” I just ignore it. Haha.

Trying again, as my comment has not come through yet:
Photography blog at manuschwendener.ch
And yes to RSS.

You and your corner of the web always inspire, Tina. So so so grateful.
I created my blog AlienofExtraordinaryAbility.com with the intention to capture beauty as I saw it before it evaporated. I also turned off comments and likes entirely on my blog after Seth Godin told me to. :)

I am so glad your blog still exists, it feels like a safe little corner of the internet and I know when I come here I will find some interesting and unique content that I won’t find elsewhere. I miss the old days too!
Sep 3rd, 2024 / 6:17 pm
Oh yes still blogging after 20 mumble years. I’m so glad we’re all still around doing this. Long may it continue for us. I must admit, I do miss blogging’s golden age.
Sep 3rd, 2024 / 7:51 pm
Still blogging, over 15 years now. I see the start drop but there’s nothing quite like a blogpost in letting me say a lot or a little, show a lot or a little…
I blog everything I sketch:

Still blogging- I need some way to justify the hundreds of plants in my home!

Still cultivating my weird little blog. Long an admirer of this space. Thank you for being here. megmullins.blogspot.com

March 2010 I set out to blog with my curatorial content posts for visual, literary, and performative arts, especially poetry, poetics, photography, music, and permaculture at word pond, like Bashō’s frog pond plop haiku and including haiku as a literary genre whether it be primitive, classical, modern, postmodern, or experimental. Alan, Marina, dirk, Mala, Marya, Sheryl, Paul, Tom, and Stephen began to correspond sometimes in relation to their blogs, and we have all come to be attentive to our posts and correspondence since 2011. Invaluable human affection and responsible reading and writing and listening. Blogging helps me write better. There are a few blogs that have disappeared due to death and I wish to mention Tom Clark, the American poet and his truly great blog, “Beyond the Pale” that had a very long run. One of the worthiest blog shout-outs I could give is to the great American poet, Bob Arnold’s “A Longhouse Birdhouse”. Thank you, Swiss Miss! Warmly, Donna at word pond

I miss those days too, and yet I’m still blogging. I also miss the blogroll and am excited when I discover a blog that has a list on its site somewhere. I keep thinking I must resurrect a page on my site that features all the places I roam on the internet to make it easy for other people to find them.
I very often feel like I’m writing into the void. I lost all the lovely comments people had left me when I moved my hosting from WordPress to Ghost and now get virtually no comments because people have to be ‘logged in’ (i.e. register with their email) to be able to do so.
Off to visit some of the other commenters links now!

I’m still blogging! Some weeks I have less energy than others, but I always feel the worse for wear when I miss a week posting. Blogging changed my life and I really don’t want to let it go, even if it’s tumbleweeds a lot of the time.

Coincidentally, my current blog will turn 10 in two weeks. And I have no intention to stop.
It started has a venue to display my calligraphy work and now it has changed to drawings and short essays.
