I also worry terribly. Both times I contacted othe bloggers that followed them. But no one knew anything. The first one wrote a short post about 8 months in that she was dealing with a personal matter and would return soon, it has been 3 years. : (</p> <p>The other I ran across as commenter on another blog years later and she had started another blog at that time. Though now she s not posting again due to personal reasons. I cannot believe someone with a life outside blogging can do it regularly at all.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-your-favorite-blogger-just-stops-writing-with-no-explanationwhat-do-you-do#post-1400005 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 11:40:31 +0000 chadya 1400005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>bloglovin</i> is an excellent way to keep up on any blogs that you follow.<br />Yes it is disappointing when a blogger suddenly stops posting without any explanation.<br />But I think it is a huge amount of work to do a blog, I thought about doing one and even named one, but you have to come up with subjects, day after day, after day!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-your-favorite-blogger-just-stops-writing-with-no-explanationwhat-do-you-do#post-1399586 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 17:59:57 +0000 Nannabella 1399586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never quite figured out how to use a blog reader, so I'll keep watching this thread to find out more. I do hate it when a much-enjoyed blog goes silent, and I too wonder what has happened to the writer when they don't post an explanation. I do find myself occasionally going back to check on a few old favorites that suddenly stopped, but I have not yet found any that did really start back up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-your-favorite-blogger-just-stops-writing-with-no-explanationwhat-do-you-do#post-1397977 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 02:21:36 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1397977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't get emails either. I use The Old Reader. I've heard bloglovin is also a great tool to use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-your-favorite-blogger-just-stops-writing-with-no-explanationwhat-do-you-do#post-1397960 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 01:54:00 +0000 pastrygirl 1397960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use an app (Feedly) for reading my subscribed blogs; I don't get emails. I also don't notice if a blogger misses a few days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-your-favorite-blogger-just-stops-writing-with-no-explanationwhat-do-you-do#post-1397675 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 15:22:33 +0000 Sheila 1397675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, Louise, Laura (rhubarbgirl) -- thanks for the tip on using a blog reader. I do not know much about them but have never signed up as my husband and I travel quite a bit and I have not wanted to receive a lot of emails while we were traveling...just no time to read them. So I sorta thought I should wait and access them "on demand". Maybe I should rethink that.</p> <p>Mander -- yes, me too! Especially when someone has written about a precarious situation and you think "maybe they died or something". I think I need to work on my detachment skills! Thanks for sharing, you went right to the core of my question. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-your-favorite-blogger-just-stops-writing-with-no-explanationwhat-do-you-do#post-1397324 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 21:49:15 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1397324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read blogs via an RSS reader as well, so I often don't even notice when someone misses a few days. Some blogs are more personal and individual, like some of the sewing blogs I read, and I comment often so I might check back and comment to see if they're still around. Others I don't feel like I know as well so I'd just leave them in my blog reader and see if they show up again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-your-favorite-blogger-just-stops-writing-with-no-explanationwhat-do-you-do#post-1397115 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 14:41:58 +0000 Mander 1397115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always wonder if something terrible has happened to them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-your-favorite-blogger-just-stops-writing-with-no-explanationwhat-do-you-do#post-1397082 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 10:38:54 +0000 Louise 1397082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like ornella I sign up for email notifications of new posts from blogs I like.

Sometimes bloggers do resurface after a break, as they end up&nbsp;missing blogging.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope this helps :-)</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-your-favorite-blogger-just-stops-writing-with-no-explanationwhat-do-you-do#post-1397039 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 05:49:21 +0000 Sheila 1397039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>retailgirl !!! Thank you for your very nice and helpful answer. I had recommended AAW to my husband so we were both wondering about it. I will go back and check that site for the "why" of its demise. Personally I am astonished at the amount of people who are willing to share their personal lives and a lot of time writing blog entries. I know some people make a living at it and it has become quite an industry. I am very thankful for Angie, Greg and Inge and the amount of helpful information and inspiration that they provide all of us. </p> <p>All that being said, I can appreciate the "why" of stopping a blog, but not without an explanation to those whom you once courted as "followers". Over and out... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-your-favorite-blogger-just-stops-writing-with-no-explanationwhat-do-you-do#post-1396964 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 02:36:11 +0000 retailgirl 1396964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The author of An Affordable Wardrobe explaind why he stopped. I loved that blog! I still have it in my favorites, check on it now and then. I started looking at blogs when I discovered "Preppy Cafe" about 4 or 5 years ago. Then I checked out her blog roll, discovered other favorites. When I come across something I like, I look at the archives, and decide if I want to keep up with it on a regular basis. Some other good menswear blogs: Put This On, A Suitable Wardrobe, Ask Andy About Clothes, A Thrifty Gent. ( I love men's clothing, have worked in retail menswear for years. Wish our wardrobing was as simple!) Check them out and then check their blog rolls and you'll have plenty to look at! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/when-your-favorite-blogger-just-stops-writing-with-no-explanationwhat-do-you-do#post-1396903 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 23:45:20 +0000 Sheila 1396903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just curious, as this seems to be happening to me of late. Two examples:</p> <p>-- Reggie Darling<br />-- An Affordable Wardrobe</p> <p>What do you do when this happens to you? Or maybe it's never happened...</p> <p>Do you keep checking back to see if there's any new content?</p> <p>Or do you try to email the blogger to ask about it?</p> <p>Or do you ask the Universe AKA Google about it?</p> <p>Thanks for your thoughts on this topic.</p> <p> </p>
