Do Personal Blogs Still Matter, or Are They Just Online Diaries No One Reads?

[Shawn Gossman]

Are personal blogs still in?

Do any of you maintain a personal blog where you write about whatever you want and not a specific niche? Are you receiving a large number of readers and comments?

Or do you think personal blogs are a thing of the past and just an activity-less online diary that no one is reading except for you, your parents, and a few friends?

I think a personal blog was my very first blog. Likely only had a few posts on it.

My blog does have a personal element to it, as it involves my interactions and experiences. That's also the extent to what I've seen of personal blogs from others. Not sure of the last time I read a blog that was about a person and their activities.

However, there other mediums out there for people to share their thoughts, like through vlogs, Instagram, podcasts, etc., which is why I think it is not as common.
