When a blogger dies, what happens to the blog? “I keep it on my ‘friends’ list just so I can see his name every so often, but I can never bring myself to click on his name. The first year or so after he passed on I visited it with decreasing regularity, until eventually I couldn’t handle the emotions. I had to move on. But the idea that it is still around is comforting — it’s almost as if he isn’t dead.” Garrett Palm, quoted by reporter Christopher Null
