It's not an apology in any sense. But I am curious about whether or not it's strange to launch back into things without acknowledging an absence on the blog, or whether to just keep going as if nothing happened. Is the blog a distant acquaintance where some "wow, it's been forever!" colloquialisms are required before sharing stories, or is it that ages old friend where picking up exactly where you left of is SOP?

But I am curious about whether or not it’s strange to launch back into things without acknowledging an absence on the blog, or whether to just keep going as if nothing happened.

Is the blog a distant acquaintance where some “wow, it’s been forever!” colloquialisms are required before sharing stories, or is it that ages old friend where picking up exactly where you left of is SOP?

Miller Tue, 13 Apr 2010 19:18:49 +0000 http://www.worldwidewatercooler.com/?p=2268#comment-39807 I've always said to myself that I'll never write a "Sorry I haven't posted in so long" entry (as far as I know, I haven't). I may write a "won't be posting for awhile" if I know about it in advance, but generally I think an apology for not posting serves no purpose. Write when you do, about whatever you're interested in, and don't worry about it. Anyone who thinks they NEED an apology from you has bigger problems. .-= Derek K.

Personally, I find the meta-posts about posting more annoying than the silence, but again, it's not my blog -- if I don't like it, I can fuck off. :) I don’t remember reading a “I will post X times a month” contract, nor do I remember paying anything for said posts…
