Don’t Throw Out the Blog with the Bathwater

by Creative Partners on January 4, 2012

Every few months, years, or so, articles are published about where blogging is going.

Blogging has been around for quite a while, and is by no means considered the new kid on the block. Granted if blogging were an actual human, we would be talking about an elementary to middle-school aged child.

Some folks are going as far as completely abandoning their websites and blogs. In turn, they would solely use social media.

When I saw some of these articles, I thought “Rumors of blogging’s demise are greatly exaggerated.”

Social Media sites have come and gone. Do we really need to name some of them that have gone by the wayside? This is why is it not good to have “all your eggs in one basket.” It’s good to have multiple media in place to communicate. This is especially true if a website goes down, or if whales, or tumblebeasts, should ever decide to meet your acquaintance.

With social media, you and millions, maybe billions of others are at the mercy of their servers. At least with a website and/or blog, you can maintain an anchor in place while you steer the social media seas.
