Blogging Dead – Funny
I don’t remember what site I was on… Not that I surf to many…LOL But this topic caught my eye “Blogging Dead?”
Yes we are in the age of 140 characters or a quick Facebook snip-it that says what we are doing and even gives our location at the time of the micro post. Everyone tries to get as many friends as they can… can you imagine having all your Facebook friends over for dinner if you were popular…LOL I hope you have a big checkbook, but in reality are they really friends? Maybe some are, but all million of them?
Oh yea, back to blogging. I guess the consensus is that the younger generation is not capable of writing long or should I say in depth content, so they don’t blog. I find this to be far from the truth. Most of the people blogging are not of the “older generation”, although the older generation does make up a lot of the bloggers. Older Bloggers do seem to write a bit more in depth so I will give that hypothesis some credit – the younger generation of bloggers don’t write as in depth, but I think that is due to nothing more than the older generation of bloggers have had more complete life accomplishments, it’s not lack of knowledge on behalf of the young generation. I read that the younger generation are disappointed that they didn’t get the involvement and feedback in the comments that they can instantly have on social networks. Even if you post on Facebook you’re still blogging it’s just morphed to a different platform. One can say only so much there and many once they start to write about themselves become bloggers.
Back to “Blogging is dead.” I don’t agree. There are so many bloggers on the web. I have been around for years and sure some started just to post about their life and what their kids are up to with a few photos thrown in (I like those the best, real bloggers I call them). Others found out the use of a blog and how good they are for a business to use either on their website or as their website and that’s cool, they need to tell the world about themselves our lovely economy is not helping! The others that think they are going to get rich on blogging… I have bad news, if you do get rich (or even popular) blogging make sure you get a spam filter that works really well ’cause they are coming for you!
The flip side to the coin about blogging is anonymity, the ability to create a blog that is about whatever you want it to be about… Rant away, talk about whatever and there aren’t all your friends and family all over you asking why you posted that and who are you talking about etc… The ability to upload photos related to your article and add a video or two, some real meat and potatoes, an in depth article you can’t get anywhere else – and who cares what everyone thinks? Your blog isn’t for your friends and family, it’s for you and writing is good for the soul. You just can’t do that anywhere else. For example I can just stick this right in the middle of this post, why because I can ( plus it’s funny)
As long as the internet is around we will have blogs created. How do I know? Right here on BlogDumps last month over 300 new blogs, that’s 10 a day minimum, were started. How many Dumped their blog to the BlogDumps blog directory… I haven’t counted, but since we have become a bit more automated and your blog is placed in a category instantly it has increased dramatically. The last count I saw was 80 million blogs on the web and growing.
I do think that all the social sites are here to stay. But I also believe that most bloggers have a Facebook, Twitter, or Myspace page not to give up their blog but to gain more readers, another avenue so to speak. The serious blogger is looking for more avenues to gain traffic and get more readers. In no way am I bashing social networking I am all for it. It gives the blogger a better ability to be found out there. And sometimes our Facebook page is just the diversion – we post what everyone we know can read there without anyone taking offense and we post our unedited thoughts on our blogs 
Why, because we can.
So if you like my blog hang around, Sometimes I am funny and crazy other times I get serious but most of the time I am here to help all of you bloggers gain readers and exposure to your awesome blogs!

Sunday Music and BlogDumps News
Wolfbernz where are you? I know, where the heck have I been?
Well, we have been working on BlogDumps so much I haven’t had time to do any blogging, plus I wanted to wait until the big news was in… Hot off the wire BlogDumps now has a new link directory submission and there is no wait. It is awesome! Just submit your link and your Blog is automatically in the directory in the category you chose!
I started BlogDumps a few years ago with the idea because there was no place to just go there add your link and add their button and be finished with no passwords, no login, no bull, just a place to gain exposure and get readers to your blog. Back when I started BlogDumps there wasn’t anything like BlogDumps on the web and as far as I know there still isn’t.
All registrations are up to you! If you want to register to one of the cool parts of the site, like the discussion forum and download the BlogDumps IM or join BlogDumps B Tubed and share your music and videos, it’s optional not required so we still pride ourself as a simple directory.
But now we have become even better we have a whole new way to add your blog! This is something we have wanted to do for a long time and we have finished part one. When you grab a BlogDumps button put it on your blog, fill out the blog submission form, chose a category from the drop down box, and submit your blog, it automatically puts you in the category you chose as soon as you finish! Your listing will even show your Google page rank. Submission also adds your blog to the front page as one of the newest members. You can still be a featured blog and those go to the top of the category with a thumb shot on the category. The next step is going to be a Platinum Feature and you will get listed in on the front page and blog directory rotation also!
The best part of all of this is we are no longer behind – everyone has been added to the directory and what a relief that is. We will be going through the directory and checking for links on blogs so make sure to have them in a visible spot that is easy to find so our new spider can locate the BlogDumps button and you do not get deleted. This will not affect all of you that are BlogDumps affiliates our new system identifies you so you will be fine in the directory.
So that was a blog post full of news 
how about some music!!!
I just think this is a great song and it fits the day… Come as you are, Calling all bloggers!
Upload and share your music on BlogDumps B Tubed
Have a great Sunday!

AngelBaby won Top Sites Tuesday this week, make sure to visit her wonderful blog
Thanks for all the support and playing each week! *Rolls out red carpet* Speech…. Speech !!!
Have a great weekend AngelBaby!
As I do every morning I clean off the front page in the top sites sending traffic of bots and spam I found one blog as I was “Lurking” I had to share it! It has the coolest rare flowers I have ever seen! I really like the parrot flower it’s awesome… I did notice that the blog has not been used since January I hope they continue. They are definitely a supporter – the blog had three BlogDumps Buttons! So here is the link if you want to check out the flowers
Not much in the way of news… I have started to remodel the front page of BlogDumps some so it will be a better home or start page for everyone… I added the weather so now you can get the weather in your area by adding your zip code, I thought this might be convenient, Should I add the latest World news?
I am off to get my chores done so I can finish early today… It is Friday so I want to be finished and start my weekend
