The Obligatory Comment on Non-Blogginess
Written by Mark Van Steenwyk : May 14, 2006
I try to avoid commenting on blogging absences. I get a bit irked when I go to a blog and find that they post about their lack of posting. Either post, or don’t post–but don’t post about not posting!
Having reflected upon this phenomenon further, I realized that posting about not-posting offers the hope of a post-ful future. When one posts about their lack of posting, they are effectively saying: "I would post more, but I’m busy or preoccupied or taking a blog-break. But hold on, dear readers, for soon I will return to blogging. Do not fear. Do not forsake visiting me. Do not take me off of your feed list or blog rolls. I shall return."
My posting for the past month or so has been sporadic. It has tended to lack substance. And this trend will probably continue until I graduate in early June. I have been very busy indeed and want to encourage you to hope for a better future. Don’t take me from your blog rolls. Don’t remove me from your feed list. Oh, I will continue to blog from time to time over the next month, but the trend of the past month or two will continue.
My hope is that I will be able to focus more on bloggin in June.

I’ve been meaning to comment on your blog lately, but just thought I would comment to say that I’m sorry I haven’t commented more.
