Jim Kukral: I’m Thinking About Quitting Blogging

Jim, whatever your choice, just remember that the technology is here to serve you. You are not here to serve the technology. If you feel that video is the way to go, then I would embrace it. Your fans will still follow you and while you may lose a few who prefer the written word, I think you will gain more because you will genuinely enjoy the new medium and that that will come through in your segments.

Hey Jim,
I started blogging at around the same time. I ended up "burning out" in 2004 or so. I still blog, but much less frequently and consistently. Moreover, I never reached the level of your posts in terms of quality, intelligence etc. Having just found your blog recently, I would be disappointed if you switched to video blogging, because the chances are I'm not going to look at 'em.(personal choice, and one of the "few who prefer the written word" per the previous commenter)
At the same time, if video is where your heart/energy is at, shouldn't that be what you do?

@Jack, You're right. I'm still thinking about it.
@rob, I've burned out on blogging many times. This blog you see now was in many, many forms since 2001, off an on. Thanks for the compliments. If I do do video, I'd try to make them entertaining and informative.

Don't hang up the gloves just yet. Post when you are really driven to, not just when you haven't done so and you feel obligated to. The written word gives you a chance to express yourself in a way that you won't be able to on video. Maybe hire a contributor or two to write articles to keep the content on the site flowing.
