How long do you keep a link on your blog that’s not been updated? What are your frequency requirements?

Even though at one time you loved this blog so, so much? You read this blog religiously for a while, you have a (secret) girl crush on her, she’s your friend….

Blogs are abandoned all the time, sometimes after a long run, sometimes after just a few entries. Even one of my favorites (not a fashion blog) had to be abandoned due of death threats. Luckily that’s not the case for most of us, indeed most of us get busy in our analog lives, move away, or perhaps just move on to other obsessions.

Whatever the case may be, amongst the living, we are left with long lists of links that go nowhere… to posts fretting about the lack of inspiration…

(ps. don’t worry High Fashion Girl, Model Citizen, and La Femme I’m not giving up on you… I just really miss you.)

    I miss La Femme too! Funny, I was just thinking about where she was earlier today!

    Sometimes I feel like taking a break from my blog but then wonder what my readers would think…

  3. WendyB says:

    I took one off the other day … she hadn’t posted since August. I figure if she starts again, I’ll notice her somewhere.

    I give it a month and if there is no sign of life then I turn off the machine. Life is too short and there are simply too many brilliant blogs out there.

    i really hate those blogs that are just suddenly abandoned without any notice..then you have to keep checking to see if it’s updated or not. it’s a total lack of bloggers’ responsibility to the readers. :(

    I have thought of taking down links to inactive blogs, but then I realize how important those links are, and I can’t bring myself to do it!

  7. discothequechic says:

    I have exactly the same issue, I’m itching to update my links list, but just don’t know if these people are coming back!

    Model Citizen is who I am missing most, she used to be one of my best “blogging buddies”, where is she?!

    I think it is annoying, and incosiderate. The publisher should take the link down, especially after months. Cause I can stand weeks, but not months. Fashionologie anyone?

    I bust my butt trying to blog everyday, most people do. If I’m not able to post in a day, I feel horrible.
