When someone just closes down a blog, you just know that something has happened that they simply doesn't want anyone to read whatever it is that they are thinking. It could be a couple of reasons. Someone who they don't want to read the blog has actually started reading it. Or someone developed a liking to their writing and did a Kathy Bates in Misery. Or they just simply got tired of writing.
Of the three I mentioned, I have yet to actually see someone who got tired of writing and decided not to blog. Most of the time people just stopped updating the blogs and moved to another URL. Just so they could lose the people they don't want reading their blogs. So with the new anonimity that they have, they now have the freedom to express themselves.
Even if you are an avid reader of the blog, you can't really ask them the reason why they stopped blogging or why they moved their blog. It's their right to do whatever they wish. It's their thoughts anyway. And it may actually be weird to ask them for the new URL. They moved the blog to another area because they want to. My philosophy is, if they wish you to read their new blog, they would just have given the URL to you. You have nothing else to do but wish them luck and cross off another blog that you read daily.
Anyways, what's my point? I don't know. I'm just blabbing. Another blog has closed and I will surely miss reading it. I never said anything before when my other favorites have closed down. I guess I'm just feeling a general sadness. I hope I bump into your blog some other day.
So, to you, Good Luck. :)
