“That is almost a 2 year bump......
But I am interested, I will have my blog running in about two weeks.

Certainly was a bump! I'm always in 2 minds about blogs. Everyone is always really keen when they set their blog up, but the majority of us (unless its just me!) eventually end up getting bored with them, or never get round to updating them. You see so many blogs that are just sat there as unloved sites or failed half ****d marketing attempts, mine included
I think it takes a particular kind of person to run and manage a blog, to be able to keep it interesting, well written and grow a readership, rather than just have a constant stream of self promo sales notices, which in the 1990's would have been called your "news" page
With so much social media around, and more and more blogs making comments "nofollow" to combat spam and appease the Google God, is there still room for the humble blog? Or has/will it morph into something else?
Will Google+ conversations overtake blogs, with the added knowledge that you schmoozing with Google, and he may reward you with better SERPs?
