HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) Review
One of the most often asked question that’s thrown at me is how long I’ve been into blogging. It has been close to seven (7) years already and in internet years, that’s like an eternity.
Which brings me to another curious thought — what’s the average age of a regular blogger nowadays?
Go ahead and answer our poll for the week — How long have you been blogging?
The options are less than a year, just over a year, between 2 to 3 years, over 3 years and over 5 years. I only know of very few bloggers who’ve been blogging for more than 5 years so I’m betting on the “just over a year” on this poll.
There are also those who tried blogging ages ago, then stopped for a while. Which blogging age do you consider? I’d go for the latest continuous blogging years. That means if you blogged between 1998 – 2001, stopped, then started again in 2003 until today, take the 2003-2007 blogging age range instead of the 1998-2007.
Don’t forget to submit your answers to the poll on the right side of the side columns.
P.S.
There’s another curious question that’s been bugging me for some time. How do you know that a blog is dead? Is it considered dead after a month, a year of being not updated?
I think it’s still subjective. A witty answer I’d always throw out is “if the blogger forgets his or her login/password, then maybe the blog is dead“. What do you think?

I started blogging around 2002, but those were just test blogging. So my official start was last October 2006.
Approximately 9 months, and my age then was 33 years.

I started blogging in 1997 but stopped for many years. I resumed in May 2000 then stopped again. My continuous blogging without hiatus started on February 24, 2006 . I have been blogging for 18 months. I was 48 years old.

When is a blog dead? Here are some suggestions:
21 days blogless, for blogs updated on a daily basis. 3 months blogless, for blogs updated weekly. 6 months blogless, for blogs updated monthly.
Of course, you can always resurrect dead blogs. Zomblogs? :-)

I started mid-2004 but entries were more personal.
I think a blog is considered dead when all the entries are gone and unretrievable. I like to believe that the primary purpose of a web log is archiving.
A blog’s freshness shouldn’t be the primary basis of its “life”. As long as it was able to record events, information or knowledge then retrieve them, it’s alive for me.
But that’s just me. I know there are a lot of people who take blogging more seriously than I do.

Been blogging seriously for 2 years now. There were a couple of incidents that thanks to my half-life memory, I forgot my password to my blog.
It’s a good thing I keep a text file of those site usernames and passwords in my drive otherwise, my blog would’ve been long dead.

2 years thereabouts.
Akin to JPLoh’s logic – a blog does not die. As long as there is a way to retrieve it, it lives. Even if it gets deleted, there is always the wayback machine.

I’ve been blogging nonsense since 2006 :)
I remember my host erased everything without even telling me. I don’t have a copy of my blog’s db so I tried searching my posts in Google and used Google’s cache to recover some of my posts

i’ve been blogging since 2003, then got my domain in 2004. i’m 27 years old and somehow i just don’t see myself not blogging anytime soon. i like blogging, it helps me release stress, helps me do something creative with my time. it’s funny, but blogging helped pull me through some of the most difficult parts of my life (when my father died, when my relationship failed, etc).

Been blogging since 2002 but lost all my previous posts when my free web host got hacked. I didn’t do or have any backups then so if you see my blog archives the earliest is only from 2005.

I can’t remember exact dates but I’ve been blogging for most of 7 years now. I’ve deleted all of my old blogs already (hopefully). I just started again a few months back. I’m 25.
