I was greatly amused to hear someone on the radio recently referring to a ‘cobweb blog’ – i.e. one which has had no posts for months and is therefore a bit ‘dusty’
I was going to accuse Bob of having a cobweb blog – and then he went and posted something!
[to be fair, he posts regularly on FaceBook, and he is a very busy chap. And one good post every so often is better than daily drivel]
But I have recently been through my long ‘reading list’ and deleted some of those blogs who have not posted anything since last Summer. Maybe there ought to be a Cobweb Blog – devoted to Martha Stewarts ghoulish Halloween table settings, or perhaps pictures of beautiful spiderwebs, bejewelled with frost or dewdrops?
So right! I am going to have a look at my blogroll and have a bit of a spring clean out. There is always the risk that someone will take offence if they read my blog and find their blog no longer there, but I can't help that. Love the idea of "cobweb" blogs - just describes the concept perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI find it annoying when I find a blog I love reading - which then promptly becomes a "cobweb blog"! I've recently culled my reading list too...but I have kept some long time non posters on there in the hope they'll begin again!
ReplyDeleteJust the kick in the derriere I needed Angela. Thank you :)

I know! I'm always disappointed when a blog I like goes cobwebby.
ReplyDeleteYou could call them Miss Havisham blogs too!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to delete a couple, but couldnt find the way to do that. Tutorial, maybe?
Drat...I vacuumed the ceiling cobwebs on Friday,I should have saved them for Halloween.

I've enjoyed Bob's posts in the past and am looking forward to see what else he has to say about work. Go, Bob!
ReplyDeleteI have kept a couple of blogs on my blogroll that are not only cobwebby, but I suspect will never be dusted off again. Still, I can't quite bring myself to cut them out. I'm in denial, I fear!

Yes, I did it last week. Not just cobwebs but ones I don't really read. I didn't seem right somehow, seeing them in reader and knowing that I wouldn't open them.
ReplyDeleteI've just done the same thing - quite cathartic really!x
ReplyDeleteI tried to delete things from my Blogroll recently- it took ages and they all reappeared anyway!
