Blogs &c

Blogs make me sad. I remember the heyday, in the first years of this millennium, when there was such a burgeoning of on-line voices. Then it seemed people burnt out or were seduced away by the ease of social media. That bubble, however, seems to have popped — or very nearly — and who knows what will come next? There certainly seems to have been a renaissance since I was last around the blogosphere (Do people still call it that?). This page is a salute to those who made something unique, or are still making something unique. We who have abandoned our blogs salute you!

My old blog had masses of links.
