I would like to add that the simplicity of creating a blog might be another reason for millions of people creating useless blogs and leaving them pilled up shadowing the rest of the good ones. Aside from that, I think here in Bahrain, bloggers are very little to be found and the majority of people still don&amp;#39;t know what blogs are and people like us are the only ones know about them and check them out. Anyways, I bothered you with all this blabbering, just don&amp;#39;t give up on blogging because I think there are still people reading them and Mahmood Al-Yousif reading it is a reason enough for you to keep blogging ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S: I loved the idea of Arablish, I have it on my google reader to catch up with anything new you add. Keep up the good work :)</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2023991709134950870/7263243441759697743/comments/default/5176965079153894765'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2023991709134950870/7263243441759697743/comments/default/5176965079153894765'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theredbelt.com/2009/09/end-of-blogging.html?showComment=1254295320441#c5176965079153894765' title=''/><author><name>Ali</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07416738388025187778</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://theredbelt.com/2009/09/end-of-blogging.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023991709134950870.post-7263243441759697743' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2023991709134950870/posts/default/7263243441759697743' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023991709134950870.post-3631522577491303892</id><published>2009-09-30T09:18:37.898+03:00</published><updated>2009-09-30T09:18:37.898+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Seriously Mahmood, me getting an iPhone is the onl...</title><content type='html'>Seriously Mahmood, me getting an iPhone is the only thing you got out of the article?&lt;br /&gt;The problem is more severe than I thought.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2023991709134950870/7263243441759697743/comments/default/3631522577491303892'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2023991709134950870/7263243441759697743/comments/default/3631522577491303892'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theredbelt.com/2009/09/end-of-blogging.html?showComment=1254291517898#c3631522577491303892' title=''/><author><name>Redbelt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07338152724455215900</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17227490803180731588'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://theredbelt.com/2009/09/end-of-blogging.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023991709134950870.post-7263243441759697743' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2023991709134950870/posts/default/7263243441759697743' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023991709134950870.post-1250612774008377640</id><published>2009-09-30T08:24:40.778+03:00</published><updated>2009-09-30T08:24:40.778+03:00</updated><title type='text'>an iPhone? now that's a turn for the books from Mr...</title><content type='html'>an iPhone? now that&amp;#39;s a turn for the books from Mr. Omnia Whatchamakallit is the best thing there is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m glad you saw the light at last.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From an on-again-off-again-blogger ;)</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2023991709134950870/7263243441759697743/comments/default/1250612774008377640'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2023991709134950870/7263243441759697743/comments/default/1250612774008377640'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theredbelt.com/2009/09/end-of-blogging.html?showComment=1254288280778#c1250612774008377640' title=''/><author><name>Mahmood Al-Yousif</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12299746072347531033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://theredbelt.com/2009/09/end-of-blogging.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023991709134950870.post-7263243441759697743' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2023991709134950870/posts/default/7263243441759697743' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
