As a blogger, it is your responsibility to create fresh, relevant and exciting content for your readers. If we leave your blog unupdated for long periods of time, your readers will think that your blog has died.
I should know. I was once a delinquent blogger.

Somehow life got in the way and I did not update as often as I used to, as often as my readers would have expected from me. Then my readers began to visit less and less, until I fell off the blogosphere.
Somehow the death of my angsty teenage blog came as some sort of relief to me because it was so full of the childish whining and college drama that I would rather forget. LOL.
