At http://blogs.msdn.com, this entry title looked a bit funny:
A new phenomenon...blog quilt.

I kept reading the post trying to figure out what all of this had to do with quilting, and how I could start my own blog quilt!

Like any converstaion, blogging is a 2 way process. SO perhaps, if you feel you have to blog today but cant find on what or are just 2 tired, make an entry what would they like to hear more...
for example, something going on at work ............. I dont know
But I am bad at giving analogies but hopefully you get the drift where I am goign with this...
Anywayz, hots off to you because it takes a lot of personal energy to blog so many times as you people have done. I wish I had it but I am more of a 100 meter sprinter than long distance runner when it comes to things

Another variety:

I quote: "Because I wanna".

But anyway, you do realize that you've just gone to the next level, right? I mean now you're posting about how you're not going to post an "I'll be back" entry. You could have just skipped this whole mess altogether.

But I guess I'm worse for commenting on it. = )

This is where having a group blog pays off (there's 8 of us who post on ours) - taking a break is less conspicuous.

There are always other blog tactics too, like posting amusing memes, funny referer hits, and blogging about blogging (or lack of)... ;)

Bryce and Paul-you got me..what can I say? It was a slow day as far as blog inspiration but this was a valid topic, right? It's not like i have the luxury of posting code ; )

?- I wish I knew who I was talking to here...don't be a stranger, or anonymous. You make some good points and I do get what you are trying to say. I'm not sure I agree with blog=conversation. I've seen that on some blogs but it's not the intent of some blogs and I'm not sure it's really a 2 way thing when a bazillion people look at your page (OK, maybe not a bazillion) and a very small fraction post comments.I aspire to be a more conversational blogger, but sometimes it feels more like giving a presentation to a bunch of wonderful but faceless people. I don't know, I guess I just think people want posts that are actually about something versus telling them you are not blogging that day. Not a major annoyance...in fact I'm a little amused.

Another reason for not blogging is: My post just got flamed in comments and I need a few days to recover my ego.

Well, I am not sure about all your readers and cant definately speak for all of them but (I think) people dont come here for the hard and fast purpose of getting a job, explore career paths ......... maybe they "initially" do but I guess (atleast for me overtime) I have come to "relish" your writing, general thought flow ...... and I just check this page like the news, just to say "whats up" in the blogging world. I would also admit that I initially started reading blogs to look for a job but now although that is still primary, I still come here and the Zoe's blog because those were the first ever blogs I started reading and fortunately.unfortunately the only 2 I ever get time/energy (combination of those two) to read. Anywayz, those were my 2 cents .........
