I'm tempted to get rid of Wordpress and set up a static photo site.
technical info I'd written, and photoblog. I think the time for a
personal blog has come and gone, but I like having a place to show
off photos.
I also ran a blog for years then pulled it off one time when I redid mypersonal si
It still lives on in the wayback machine but yeah I kind of agree. I thinkit comes
down to why someone may choose to post their
thoughts. If they want to and feel happy to then all power to them. Heck I may start again in the coming year too. Dunno :)
I treat my blog more like an advertising and self-promotion platform. I know it does not have a lot of visits, but when you are talking with somebody online and he asks if you know some good IRC bot framework for doing X, I can just say "sure, I have that in my website, come check it out." So I end up looking like a pro :-)

There is an idea to host your content on *your* site, then syndicate
it to the social networks or repurpose it as needed. That way, you
have more control over where your content goes and have ownership over
it. Create Once, Publish Everywhere.

It's not a crazy idea.

Goodreads allowed authors to specify a RSS feed for their Goodreads
blog. That way, the author could have its blog hosted somewhere, and goodreads would pick its RSS feed and copy the blog posts in the
original location to Goodreads-

To negate Wordpress script attacks it's amazing, no more emails every five seconds saying IP xxx has tried to login as Admin :)

I never got off the ground with mine, 12 years ago now:

The idea was to post books and stuff for sale.

I don't know. Most people goes to specialized flea-market websites for
such things. Nowadays, they just download a flea-market app to their
phone.
A personal blog is a lot for what social media is: to show your friends what you are doing. Social media has taken over that role so I don't think personal blogs will ever be so successful unless you are an important personality.
Professional blogs... well, the idea is a bit the same, but you are
usually going to attrack more attention with that because a professional blog usually has a narrower, specific topic it deals will that is of supposed interest to people.
