One of the most often asked question that’s thrown at me is how long I’ve been into blogging. It has been close to seven (7) years already and in internet years, that’s like an eternity.
Which brings me to another curious thought — what’s the average age of a regular blogger nowadays?
Go ahead and answer our poll for the week — How long have you been blogging?
The options are less than a year, just over a year, between 2 to 3 years, over 3 years and over 5 years. I only know of very few bloggers who’ve been blogging for more than 5 years so I’m betting on the “just over a year” on this poll.
There are also those who tried blogging ages ago, then stopped for a while. Which blogging age do you consider? I’d go for the latest continuous blogging years. That means if you blogged between 1998 – 2001, stopped, then started again in 2003 until today, take the 2003-2007 blogging age range instead of the 1998-2007.
Don’t forget to submit your answers to the poll on the right side of the side columns.
P.S.
There’s another curious question that’s been bugging me for some time. How do you know that a blog is dead? Is it considered dead after a month, a year of being not updated?
I think it’s still subjective. A witty answer I’d always throw out is “if the blogger forgets his or her login/password, then maybe the blog is dead“. What do you think?
since 2003 here

i’ve been blogging since 2003, then got my domain in 2004. i’m 27 years old and somehow i just don’t see myself not blogging anytime soon. i like blogging, it helps me release stress, helps me do something creative with my time. it’s funny, but blogging helped pull me through some of the most difficult parts of my life (when my father died, when my relationship failed, etc).
been blogging since november 2003
blogging (personal) since 1999. problogging since 2005.

Been blogging since 2002 but lost all my previous posts when my free web host got hacked. I didn’t do or have any backups then so if you see my blog archives the earliest is only from 2005.
I’ve been recording my life since early 2006 siguro.. i don’t even know wordpress then.. manual entry using notepad then upload..
Then I learned of bBlog (which is dead btw).. after bBlog, hello WordPress!
Since 2001, over at weblogger.com
This was a really good question. If not, I would never have known that I have been blogging for five years already! Yey me!
I’ve been blogging since 1998, but you wouldn’t see traces of it online…it’s just so embarassing XD
Just realized that I started my blog a year ago yesterday. It sort of opened a whole new world to me – the blogging world.
More than 3 years.
Birth of Technobiography was on April 11, 2004 .
I can’t remember exact dates but I’ve been blogging for most of 7 years now. I’ve deleted all of my old blogs already (hopefully). I just started again a few months back. I’m 25.
