I cannot even imagine doing full battle reports!Eric Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276836738624222147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-68891109225393616302022-01-31T07:19:57.172-08:002022-01-31T07:19:57.172-08:00Yeah, I love the blog format and the freedom and a...Yeah, I love the blog format and the freedom and agility to be comprehensive. We wouldn't be continuing to do it if it were for the views, but they are still nice! <br /><br />I would love to see a list of some of your favorite blogs, but that is also time-consuming, he he. Just something to consider!Eric Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276836738624222147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-547811270674523132022-01-31T07:07:13.758-08:002022-01-31T07:07:13.758-08:00Oh I hear you about numbers.

The Blog had 65 views and a couple of comments. The Facebook groups have over 400 likes and over 60 comments. <br />I understand the gratification that comes from the newer platforms but while numbers are nice I find blogs to be more fulfilling personally for the reasons you mention.<br /><br />Perhaps you're right and I should do my limited bit for the blogosphere, I'll have a think :)Castigator (Gary)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09177108461264289110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-35635740631690252902022-01-30T17:55:29.263-08:002022-01-30T17:55:29.263-08:00Good post - some interesting artists I hadn't ...Good post - some interesting artists I hadn't seen before - as well as some I had. There is a definite theme to your choices though! :) <br /><br />I also agree with your sentiments about blogging - It is the best medium but it is so much more work than other formats I find I don't blog nearly as much as I want to, and when I do the posts are usually a lot shorter then I would like. I am in awe of the people who manage to post full battle-reports on their blogs, I can barely find time to play a game at all!(Kym) + Warburton + (Classic40K) https://www.blogger.com/profile/17333928965917754588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-40023455214087705542022-01-30T16:43:22.362-08:002022-01-30T16:43:22.362-08:00Thanks for visiting the blog and looking over the ...Thanks for visiting the blog and looking over the list! Yeah, I wish more blogs ended up on the list. Unfortunately, as you said, it is somewhat of a dying art, likely due to how much work it is compared to something like Instagram, and gets so much less traffic. While we continue to maintain this blog, it doesn't get nearly the same about of feedback as Instagram. We still want to continue with it, as it allows for more detailed and informative content, but I can see how many can't justify the time and effort.<br /><br />We will try to see if we can include more blogs in the future. You could considering doing a similar post, featuring some of your favorites, as the more people share and promote blogs, the better!Eric Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276836738624222147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-23542552941003145322022-01-30T09:51:05.426-08:002022-01-30T09:51:05.426-08:00There are some great artists amongst your recommen...There are some great artists amongst your recommendations and I don't begrudge any of them...but the vast majority of them are Instagram and not everybody uses Instagram.<br />I counted only 4 Blogs, not including your own links, and while I like Instagram, I feel that the blogosphere deserves more recognition. I know it's a dying medium but I feel that we need to push as many of these great sites as we can.<br /><br />Just a suggestion and once again the links you suggest are all worthy of our time.<br /><br />CheersCastigator (Gary)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09177108461264289110noreply@blogger.com
