The lifespan of a blogger. . .

Sandy's blog is called "SuperMommy" but she has it at http://sandyandkurt.blogspot.com because http://supermommy.blogspot.com was taken. However, the original SuperMommy does not update her blog, and hasn't since June 23, 2003. That made me wonder two things:

1. What did Blogger templates look like years ago?
2. Could I find other blogs that were old and not updated anymore.

The answers are "very different" and "YES!"

  This person described their blog as "where I write my thoughts down."
  You have to see it to believe it.

  A one post blog from 2004 that is actually interesting.
  

In my mind, when someone is done blogging, they should archive their blog and delete it, or at least provide a statement of why they stopped blogging. Unless they die and no one knew they blogged. In that case, I hope that "grayson's site sucks" were not someone's dying words.
