Blog SIGNS

     What's the first sign?.... a blogger apologizes for not having posted as much as usual? Then there are excuses about being busy, about work and family, about..stuff? If you post less than three or four times a week, is it worth it?
     The second sign might be messing with a longtime blog design, or eliminating a longtime blog element...sure, everything needs refreshing, but is it change for the sake of change?
     Then the third sign might be taking a "sabbatical" from the blog, just a week or two while he or she is off traveling (or not).
     And those inevitably end with the solemn announcement that "after doing this for x number of months or years"...he or she has decided to end his or her blog. Sigh.
Or is the first sign writing a post that being with the question

What's the FIRST SIGN?
