Potential millions of blogs were made before the November 2006 elections and then abandoned after the fact, glutting the web with now dead blogs. I think political blogs are partially to blame.

What I meant was that many people throw themselves into blogs and then quickly abandon them once they realize it's more work than they thought. It's like getting into a relationship and then realizing you have a commitment-phobia because making a relationship is a lot of work. Jonathan: That came across as somewhat dismissive, didn’t it.

Hrm - it sounds like you consider "blogging wannabes, personal diaries" to be inferior/not as good as/of lower rank and value than "blogs generating solid content on a regular basis". Has it occured to you that personal diaries, etc. are considered to be "blogs generating solid content" to some people? (though obviously not in your opinion) Just because you don't consider a particular blog to be "generating solid content" doesn't mean others agree with you. Of course, I could have misinterpreted what you meant, and it that's the case you'll probably want to reevaluate how you express your opinions less you be misunderstood by a great number of people. Just food for thought. “On the other hand, the disappearance of blogging wannabes, personal diaries, etc. may be a healthy development if it raises the profile of blogs generating solid content on a regular basis.”
