You complain about blogs that doesn't focus on Minecraft, even though the best blogs I've seen have nothing to do with Minecraft.

Also, I make interview and reviews blogs, and I try really hard to make it original and imformative. Just because most interviews/reviews on this site aren't that good, doesn't mean ALL interviews/reviews are bad.

Yes, the blog section is not as popular and as good as it was years ago, but to say it's dead is ignorant.

Check my blogs then. My first ever blog that I made a couple of months ago hit over 30 diamonds, not as good as the old days but still decent in my opinion.

Although I do somewhat agree with the crux of your point, that the PMC blogging section has been on a downhill slope since day dot, I feel like these blogs don't really have a purpose. Although this is a blog that is better written than most and the points you do raise are more than valid, I highly doubt that anyone ever reads these kinds of blogs (and trust me, there are a lot) and suddenly thinks to themselves, "oh yeah, hmm, I'll stop the FNAF posts, and the interviews and do something more original!". The same can be said to other similar blogs like "Grammar Tutorials" and such, so please don't feel like I'm just singling this out.

Also, I feel like all other sections of the site have also been on a steady decline on the originality and quality front, the problem with the blogging section seeming to face the brunt of it is due to the fact that everyone always points it out. Because of the nature of the content we post in this area of the site, people can easily express to the community how bad they think the blogging section has become - because of the swirl of chatter making everyone focus on the blogging section's problems (as opposed to other sections which, although face similar problems, don't recieve much attention about them) people are just constantly force-fed information that the blogging section sucks.

And about the examples of originality in the blogging section - I know that the 3 people listed did once produce original blogs, but 2 of them haven't posted any content in over 7 months and so I can't understand as to why you would provide old examples for quite a relevant topic? There are still people now who strive to produce that originality on a regular basis, Chron, Zath and Pikamoar (to name just a few users) are forever producing original stories, the member "Space" uploaded a fab blog about colonizing Venus a few days back (I don't think people can get more original), GrayRemnant's thorough "Week in Review" series never fails to delight, and roobub's "Mine your Manners" comic is forever entertaning. I just feel like these people would have made a better guideline for originality as they are current to the section.

Although I have left a lot of critique, I hope you don't take anything too much to heart - I have tried to just give my thoughts on the matter and express some opinions to perhaps improve your blogging in the future ... after all, if we are going to get out of the "Death" of the blogging section, we need to work together and constructively criticise one another to improve the quality of our content and propel the blogging section from the supposed misery it is in.
