Thanks for commenting guys. It would seem I am not the only one to have made this mistake

As I said, this one is not completely dead, but it might as well be. Does anyone know how many blogs out there are not getting the love and attention they should?

The dead football blog came back to life!

I do agree that most disinterest in blogging comes from a bad niche. Also the fact that people are too lazy to properly maintain their blogs to see them to their full potential .

Can definitely relate to this!

I've written several blogs over the years. I tried different subjects. I built up a bit of traffic for each of them. But ultimately they've become a burden. It's kind of like spinning plates. I waste time trying to kep them all alive.

There are a couple that I enjoy posting to the most, and which get the most traffic. So I've decided to focus on them only.

Still, it's hard to let my other babies die …

I couldn't agree more – it is really important to only blog about a subject that you are passionate about. It's that passion that will get you through the tough times and keep you writing.
