I've been reading up on your blog for some years now and have actually followed up on many of your points of interest.

I'm glad that this at least sometimes interests you too!

The author does not try to sell you anything or act as a advertisement for various companies. She displays a passionate love for this City of Lights, that we all adore, through her knowledge and research of hidden jewels, obscure sites and sometimes outre attractions.

Personally I'm ignoring that :-) I don't use Facebook, Twitter or any of the newer ones.

The trick is attracting a following, if that's what you're after. I get the feeling that RSS readers are losing favor, but I love mine, which I use as a self-curated news aggregator, which combines mainstream news providers, sites/blogs that cover my field, and blogs that Chanterellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718940408471760091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725154806633928919.post-81043490777871407112016-03-14T11:25:51.033+01:002016-03-14T11:25:51.033+01:00Can't help noticing the skull and crossbones o...Can't help noticing the skull and crossbones on the cashier's desk - is that a satirical comment on their part, do you think, or a dire warning?!<br /><br />I've let my blog slide through sheer inanition and fear of repetitiousness, but I don't think of it as a vehicle for mass communication as much as an occasional journal for myself.

It's just I'm not so sure that the audience is still there. Do people still read blogs as much these days, or have they moved on to other platforms? Anyway, as I don't have any answer at the moment, I'll carry on here for the time being!<br /><br />Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453626318828119830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725154806633928919.post-67527621931390764632016-03-14T08:36:43.437+01:002016-03-14T08:36:43.437+01:00So what is the alternative to blogs if you want to...So what is the alternative to blogs if you want to write in any detail and include good pictures?
