I'm concerned with relevance of my older posts. Is it useful to keep, for example, a post about "Emerging Trends" for over 2 1/2 years when the author claims he gets the question every year? Does the answer never change? It seems to me that archival material can clutter a site and distract from current content.

I know this sounds cheeky, but I really want to know what pro bloggers think.

I'm a fashion blogger, and what I am noticing in this little segment of the blogging world, many people are simply posting editorial images from magazines and barely writing any content except to credit the images. Many of the fashion blogs are still personal, giving outfit posts, party pictures, luxury designer goods that they'd just recently purchased, and their trips to places.

Thanks. Good info. I'm totally new to the blog world. My comments may not hold water. People want visually interesting. Text chronologically ordered with a bio/logo/color isn't enough. Out of the corner of your eye, you want to see the cute girl walking by. Re: multiple authors. Go to the Craigslist wanted section for writers. You will note ads for bloggers. New emerging blogs recognize that they need keep things interesting, current, active, and solidify the "community" approach to messaging.

I think there is also an emerging trend of an increasing amount of bloggers who are using alternatate forms of communication to connect with their readership. Eg: Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, etc).

Thanks for resuming this info. I totally agree about the 5th point, lets see what other use emerge in the near future for blogs.

Great post and i think you are quiet right.

I think it's not over yet.

But in my oppinion and i'm quit new to the bloggosphere is that big content producers are going to understand the blogging thing more and so it's going t be harder to get a readers cause the big once are so great.

So thats all no reason for me to not try and find out how it is to blog on your own professional, cause i think we are over 6 billion people and there will be everytime somebody how is interested in what you write.
