Blogging, it has been pointed out, is in decline. I agree with Alan Jacobs in hoping for a blogging renaissance, I don’t think it’s likely to come, at least not in the format he (and I) want it to come. In his recent post on the subject he writes: I am still hoping for a Blogging Renaissance, but lately I’m thinking that one necessary element of a true renaissance will be to get the readers of blogs on the same page as the writers.
