Mr Mist’s Blog

Looking at BBC News, it seems that at least two big characters won’t make it to the end of the series [news.bbc.co.uk] and, reading between the lines, it looks like one of them could be Harry. The other, I could take a guess, would be Snape, or Hermione - though she also says that one character now won’t die, which could equally easily be one of those two.

I’m sure that the last book will be a good yarn either way, and will annoy as many people as it pleases no matter what happens. Yup.

On other notes, I’ve come to the conclusion that weblogging is difficult. Yes. It’s hard work. It’s (in manay cases) an incredibly thankless task (only very, very, popular journals get large numbers of comments on a daily basis) and it takes a large amount of time to compile a really decent entry. My theory seems to be largely weighed out by looking at my own links page. The links page that was a few years ago is now almost completely defunct. Only one original entry on my list from back when still blogs, and that is serialdeviant.org [www.serialdeviant.org]. Kudos to you for carrying on for this long in the face of the inevitable, which seems to be blog death. Nearly all my other links (if I haven’t already removed them) now point to dead pages, or blogs that haven’t been updated for months on end. (Of course, from other perspecitives, this site could be one of those dead pages - though I try to update every now and again.)

So, yeah, well done to those who manage to actively maintain blogs for sustained periods of time (over years for example.) I guess when you outlive your blogring codes you know you’re doing alright…
