Is anyone still really blogging?

I've got about 15. Some older, and checking their blogrolls from back in the day, pretty much everyone I linked to back then is now redirecting to some aggregators page.

(On one blog recently I lost two years of posts by foolishly upgrading to 2.9.2 without a database backup using wordpresses auto update tool - that sucked. My own stupid fault, I got used to upgrades going well, I should have known better.)

Many started this year, and still in the stage where i am populating them with posts before trying harder to link them up and do the new blog thing which is subbing blogs to directories and lists.

Anyway, I'm probably blogging all wrong then I guess, if you just started 7-8 splogs and are making money worth writing about.

How did you link them up. Wheres your traffic from?

Anyway, I've decided to do the thing of getting to about 50-100 over the next two years, because, well, traffic options are dying off left and right and what else is there.
