Is Your Blog Dead or Alive?

I’ve started to hijack the TnB blogging space. I don’t have a set schedule or anything and these types of posts take an insane amount of inspiration to write. Anna’s been really good at covering the technical aspects of blogging. My role there is to be the coach and make sure you actually do it.
Matticus the… Motivator? Hmm.
I'm Matticus and I play a Dwarf Priest. My home is in Conquest, a raiding Guild that I have founded. Every week, I log 12 hours raiding on Ner'Zhul.
Wynthea is the Troll Priest with the best Mohawk on Nazjatar. Currently, I raid 5 nights a week, and PvP occasionally. I started playing WoW in May 2005, and raiding end-game in May 2007. My guild is currently working through 25-man WotLK content. I've tried playing other classes, but Priests are my passion. I am extremely fond of Dwarves.... especially with Ketchup. 
My name is Sydera and I like to heal things--think Florence Nightingale with foliage. I play a night elf druid on Ner'Zhul, and I raid 12 hours a week. As a guild officer for Conquest, I coordinate healing and recruit new raiders. I started playing WoW in Fall 2005, and it was love at first click. Before I discovered the joys of Broccoli-stalk healing, I raided as a holy paladin, and I now have alts in all healing classes. I have to say, though, bark beats poofy dresses and heavy plate in my book.
Mine is very much alive almost 18 months and going. Yeah still alive.
Galohearts last blog post..WotLK Beta: Server Down Today
Out of curiosity, what did you base this on?
Phaelias last blog post..Boy Scouts in Northrend: I am TOO Prepared!
The only thing I can think of that might clue a person in on who’s active and who’s not would be the inactive tag on the Twisted Nether wiki. However I’m not sure what qualifies a blog to receive this tag.
Yet another one curious about the statistic
Is this one of the 72% of statistics made up on the spot?
Saresas last blog post..Can I live in a bubble?
Here at World of Matticus… we don’t check our facts ^^.
(Actually, from the start, I’ve added blogs to my reader. When they haven’t updated, I’d just move them into my Inactive section.)
I mean, yeah, totally made up.
@Aurdon:
The blogs listed as inactive on the TNB Wiki haven’t been updated in a while (a while = >30-60 days)
seriously Matt, you need another thing on your list, I thought the underblogger was here to give ya a break?
Matt’s thinking:
“Great! Now that I don’t have to devote so much time to blogging, I have more time to blog!”

“(Actually, from the start, I’ve added blogs to my reader. When they haven’t updated, I’d just move them into my Inactive section.)”
Updated vs. all view ftw.
Because I really don’t want to see how many different RSS feeds I’ve actually got in there.
Avonars last blog post..Buffing in combat
My blog isn’t dead but I’m getting bored with it. It is mainly a diary of my raiding and much of my raids have turned into farming the same bosses over and over.
On the positive side, many people have given me great tips and advice when they comment.
Tankettes last blog post..Gius goes from holy to shadow
My blog’s not dead, it just has a very slow pulse. Like, two heartbeats a month. >.>
I like to write, but I usually am rather lacking in the inspiration department. I know I could go to Blog Azeroth and find lots of ideas and stuff, but it sounds a bit corny to blog about the same thing everyone else is blogging about. :/ Still, I might start doing that if it makes my posts something other than ’sorry I haven’t updated in so long, Real Life crit me for 100k and I only just now made it back to my corpse’.
Jaqis last blog post..…But will it be enough?
Oh, btw, I forgot to mention. Matticus, you and I are on the same server. Except you’re alliance, because you’re silly. ^_^
I just checked for a pulse, apparently my blog is still going =P
Oddly it seemed to get more visitors when I was gone for a few days. Perhaps that should tell me something…..
Dechions last blog post..Just a thought.
