Is blogging dead?

A colleague has raised an issue; is my blog dead? I have expanded this to represent less of a personal attack, to; is blogging dead?

The lack of anonymity, despite the pseudonym put in place, is starting to fuck me off. When you find yourself not able to talk about things, because someone you know knows who you are etc etc, and because you've stupidly linked your blog to a social networking site, you know that things aren't how they were originally meant to be.

That is, this blog was originally an outlet for my inherent nature to complain endlessly about all manner of banal and mundane things. It rapidly became popular, of course, amongst colleagues and friends, and now I find myself unable to mention ANYTHING that's slightly controversial or likely to implicate the anonymity of another person.

So what's the point of this blog, if I can't express my true feelings, or indeed, complain about things that I encounter? Should I be considering hanging up my blogging hat? Or should this particular blog move on, and morph into another blog?

The problem with that is this; I love to be loved. I want people to read my blog, and to personally praise me for the excellent post, my outstanding wit, and my ability to succinctly express my inner feelings. So if I were to start a new blog, with complete anonymity in mind, who would praise me? What satisfaction would I gain from writing? None.

I conclude with a question: Is a blog considered dead when the content is necessarily censored?
