Do people still blog? Or is that not a thing anymore?

I feel like most of my good material would work better in blog form than in internet video reviews. But I can't help but notice that people who are into internet reviewer fandom either become fanartists or start doing reviews themselves, neither of which are good options for me who doesn't have good screen presence.

I've been thinking of doing a long rambling Forrest Gump style "Do you wanna hear my life story" kind of blog where I tell an abridged version of my life story to make sense of how I got to this point in my life. Nothing tells me people would read it but I have this incredible urge to do it. I have a story to tell that not many other people have in terms of similar lives, and the way I tell stories would be interesting to at least one person.

Tumblr will hear my tale, whether anybody wants to or not. It could be worth doing this to get me back on my writing groove. But I still think vlogs/internet reviews are more popular than blogs now.

Yes, people still blog.

The question is whatever the audience thinks your blog is worth reading or not.

TUMBLRS!

Everyone and their dog has a freaking tumblr!

I have a Tumblr. In fact, I imagine even actual dogs have Tumblrs given how many dog pictures are on there if you look.

I wonder if some of the nude dog pictures are NSFW in dog workplaces.

There is exactly one Tumblr I occassionally check on, and I don't have that or Twitter. Still, some other blogs are fun. Being a Thing can be a short phase, though.

Yeah, people still blog, even for the kind of stuff where video reviews are pretty common.

I still read a few blogs.

T Paradox has a movie review blog, too.

Wait...aren't dogs usually naked anyways?

Indeed they are, and it is a horrible travesty!

Tumblr's more of a "microblogging" kind of site than a full-on blog site I'd say. It's like the Twitter of blog sites.

Well, I blog my RPG exploits and I tumbl (is that even a verb) my modeling exploits.

Well, there is the word "tumble."

I'm pretty sure blogging is very much a thing, even outside Tumblr. At least it is over here in the cold Northlands.

I've got a movie review blog that I update weekly, and a personal blog that I update whenever I get around to writing something I've got a bug in my ear about (<yearly)

Blogging is still a cold-fire thing.

And there's people out there using it to earn six figures.

I'm using it to build my author platform. *

I write blogs.

They detail fictional events though.
