Quit Your Blog for Science!

You've been blogging quite a while now. How long's it been. About 3 or 4 years now. You're getting sick of it. No comments. No links. No RSS/Atom subscribers. No Technorati, Google, or Amazon Associates juice. No impact on the blogosphere. Nothing gained.

Being a quitter and not a winner, you seek a way to gracefully exit. To you, it's more fun to quit than to keep plodding along. Your blog has become an unbearable and uncomfortable burden. You're tired of saying, "2 to 4 per month," when people asks you how many hits your blog gets.

So you decide to end it. Not yourself, but your blog. In some cases, we fear that some of you have also ended yourselves, hope not, but you don't reply to emails.

Your final post must be posted, not the last one. A final post comes after the last one, and explains that the last one is now the second to last one, and is followed by the now last and final post, which is the final post.

Call it a failure. Or blame the audience who hated it. Your blog is ready for the neglect it so richly deserves. But post a Final Post, a legendary "Farewell To Blogging" post.

EXAMPLE:

"I bid a fond and fragile farewell to blogging. This, absent and uncaring readers and random web surfers, will be my last and final post. It's an emotional time for me now as I resist looking back at a long period of no comments, no links, and no emails from readers. I decided that since there are untold millions, maybe billions and trillions of blogs out there, mine must be lost in eternal obscurity, that rumored dreadful web wasteland of zero traffic. Goodbye. I am going to start a soldier ant farm."

Now you have plenty of time to write your anti-blog articles for the mainstream media. How far are you now on your new book "I Think Blogging Sucks!"?
