A blog's lifecycle (or why are 95% of blogs abandoned?)...

While I'm actively blogging at the moment, here is a breakdown of a lifecycle of a blog:

1. Euphoric moment of inspiration
   
2. Pseudo-maniacal and self-indulgent perusing of domains
   
3. Careful consideration of theme and design
   
4. The inaugural post - "Hello world!"
   
5. The 2-4 post honeymoon phase
   
6. Waning and changing interests
   
7. Feelings of desperation and apathy from low engagement
   
8. Inevitable abandonment :(
   

What do you think?
