Blogging networks tend to come an go. Blogging networks essentially provide a way for bloggers to interact with each other. Usually there are games or forums or other ways to interact. When blogging networks work properly they can form the basis for great communication between bloggers but when they go south, they tend to go south quickly. I used to participate in Blog Rush that had a widget for your blog to share your favourite members. One day I had a comment from one of my readers about the huge empty space in my sidebar. Upon investigation I found that Blog Rush had closed up shop without notifying members leaving a huge gaping space where the widget had been.
Today I decided to check in on the blogging network Blogsoldiers to find it gone as well. I was a bit disappointed but had expected this to happen. This is a good reminder to keep an eye on all those little banners linking to various directories and blogging networks. Remove any dead ones as leaving them can hurt your numbers. If you have a link on your blog linking to them it is time to remove it as the link now points to a generic search result.
Shortly after I started blogging one of the first blog networks I joined was BlogExplosion. At that time it was a great way to meet other bloggers some who I continue to remain online friends with. Unfortunately this wonderful network started having serious problems in 2009 but then appeared to be coming back to life after being being bought by Live Universe. Since October of 2009 BlogExplosion has been having increasing problems with currently many of the features not working admist rumours that they have not been paying staff. Those trying to save BlogExplosion have had no luck trying to reach the owners and there are no admins to correct the existing problems. If you are using BlogExplosion this is the time to keep a close eye on it as many are prediciting its demise. Users are still supporting this blogging network but those numbers are dwindling.
