Does anyone blog anymore?

Podcasts, audiobooks, TikTok reels, Discord chats — everywhere you look, the internet is louder, faster, and more “immersive.” Meanwhile, blogging feels like something we all did back when flip phones were still a thing. (Fun fact: I even once launched a memeless media site. Shockingly, it didn’t take off.)

But is there still a place for blogs? For posts like this one?

Do you blog? I started [LAPSE... brain dead] back in 2007. I was steady for a while, drifted away, came back, drifted again — and now I’m finally in a semi-regular groove again.

A big part of that comeback has been using AI tools (Copilot, Gemini, etc.) to review posts, clean up sentences, or help me draft ideas. I still write in my own voice — AI just gives me a jumpstart when I need it.

And that’s where my new book comes in:

The AI-Powered Blogger - book cover

Yes — the book was drafted with AI, and then I went back through and shaped it into something I’m proud of. That’s the whole point of the book, really: showing how AI can help you write faster, stay consistent, and keep your creative momentum going without replacing your voice.

Whether you write for work or for fun, AI can help you get your ideas out of your head and onto the page. It can help you start when you’re stuck, polish when you’re tired, and keep going when life gets busy. Think of it as your junior creative assistant — always ready, never annoyed.

If you already blog, this book will help you blog more easily. If you’ve wanted to start blogging, this book will help you finally get going. (And if you need a simple place to start, Blogger is still one of the easiest platforms out there — no setup headaches like WordPress.)

Have fun. Write more.

And if you have a blog, drop the link in the comments — let’s see if we can bring blogging back again.
