As I mentioned, two of ours very recently returned after a very long time, and given how hard it can be to track quiet bloggers down, removing all trace of them seems a little excessive. Anyway, all our figures are available to the public, so people can take their choice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376621599111523024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33696095.post-5875288357760724592007-02-16T19:40:00.000+00:002007-02-16T19:40:00.000+00:00Same difference surely ?

So, (currently) 99 blogs haven't been updated for 2 months. I think it's premature to call them "dead", because I can think of two that have recently returned to life after many, many months away.<BR/><BR/>For 73.6% of all blogs (actually, some blogs don't have valid/working feeds and won't be included in the calculation) to have "checked in" in the last month is pretty good, I reckon (27% in the last day alone). I concede, though, that East Anglia is a particularly weak blogging area for us, at the moment. I suspect other parties don't have the ability to produce comparable statistics for their respective blogospheres, which is a shame.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376621599111523024noreply@blogger.com
