Life as an Exchange-guy

If you work in IT and you need a free simple way to write up work instructions or FAQs, a blog is a pretty easy and free choice.
This blog was a good resource for someone who was writing up some troubleshooting posts for Exchange server.
Kind of makes you wonder what happened, and if he is still an Exchange-guy.

Stephen Smith - Confessions from a Church IT Director

Bridging the gap between having a personal blog for fun and giving good tips for things like computer use can be tough. You never really know who's reading your content, and it can be tough to keep blogging when it feels like you're just throwing your posts out onto a busy internet where no one is listening.

This blogger put his thoughts out there from his job as an IT director at a church. Kept it up for a year and then called it quits back in 2008.

Excel2007 slow to open file

Some blogs are just a one or two shot deal.
A quick answer to a commonly answered question, and sitting as a placeholder on the internet if anybody's looking for the answer.

This blog has some helpful tips for Excel 2007. Two posts and done, hanging out there for 6 years.

CovEndNote

Since blogs are free, easy to set up and easy to link, search and archive it's a easy solution for someone who wants to set up a helpdesk knowledge base.

CovEndNote is a help documentation blog for users working with the EndNote software at Coventry University in the UK.
Eventually Coventry stopped supporting the software, so the blog was ended, with a nice clear last post.

Nice to see the blogs that actually end on purpose versus just fade away and are forgotten.

HISTORY OF NHL TRADES

Blogs are a great place to start something special about things you are passionate about.
They can also be a lot of work, and over time many people just don't see the benefit of updating their content anymore.
This blog is a great idea, laying out the NHL trades through history. But they stopped in 2010, probably just didn't have the time or desire to keep updating it.

DoCopenhagen

Some blogs start as one thing but change into another.
This one started as a guide for what to do in Copenhagen, then turned into a blog about music.
