The old blog days of Cornish Workshop, the Village Woodworker (both discontinued) and the like are gone. Today's blogs, with a few exceptions, are mostly about commerce, show-offs of tools, or worse, subjects (woodworking as well as non-woodworking) of little substance. Some bloggers have jumped ship and update their Instagram /Twitter daily (or even minute by minute?), leaving their blogs from half dead to totally dead. This is especially true of many furniture makers who previously were diligent in blogging.

I am pretty good now at deciding which blog posts should not be clicked (most of them) simply looking at their headings or authors.
