This is not any news that is saying that you need to shut down your blog. Actually its a wake up call for those bloggers who are not paying any attention to their blogs. Blogging is a hot career option these days and its attracting lots of people. I mentioned design blogs in the heading just because of the reason that almost every designer has their personal blog but most of them are busy with their job or other freelance work and because of their busy schedule they are not paying any attention to their blogs. Being busy is not the only reason for bad blogging, below are some reason for bad blogging and if you relate yourself to any of the reason then its the time to come over it or you should shut down your blog.
You are too busy and don’t have time for blogging
If you have too many works to do and don’t have time to update your blog at least two or three times a week then you should shut down your blog. I saw so many design blogs without regular updates. Nobody has time to update those blogs if anyone of you have a design blog in this condition please shut it right now because it not doing any good neither for you nor for your blog readers.
You don’t like to interact with people
If you own a blog then its your duty to interact with your blog readers and you need to answer their queries or thank them for leaving comments on your blog. If you think that you can not interact with your blog readers then blogging is not for you.
Don’t have any ideas for new posts
If you can’t think of new ideas for your posts then its the time you should quit blogging. Readers don’t want to see the same and same stuff everywhere. So you need to think about new post ideas if you are serious about blogging. If you think that you are not creative enough for this then shut down your blog now.
These are my views about blogging, I wrote this article to share my thoughts with you guys. If you are a blogger and not paying any attention to your blog then wake up and pay the attention to save your blog. Thank you guys for reading this.

I seriously think you should do exactly what you are saying is this very post, because we don’t need more “web designers” that only post lists and more lists of “new and cool” Photoshop and jQuery tutorials.
What we need are bloggers who actually care about typography, user experience and features that make the difference between you and me.
Plus, if you agree with what you just wrote (it’d be weird if you didn’t), I advise you to do so.
I’ve recently launched my blog. Your blog post is very discouraging and aggressive. You should write about ‘How to be creative’,’How to shutdown blog’ instead.
Cheers!

We didn’t mean to discourage anyone, we wrote this article to wake up bloggers who are not paying attention to their blogs.
I hope you will pay complete attention to your blog and all the best for your blogging career and welcome to the world of bloggers. Cheers 🙂

How about if your blog logo is so hard to read that it turns off your readers. I love the theme you are using, but seriously, take care of that logo – it’s terrible!
Nice post. Bye.
