It's two years almost exactly to the day that I first wrote on this subject:
A bleeder is a blog reader while a blighter is a blog writer (also known as a blogger). There are millions if not billions of us blighters out there but, as we know to our cost, bleeders are few and far between. As blighters we really need to get the bleeders interested in our sites. But how to go about it? Any ideas?

Well, all I can say is that my suggestion hasn't really caught on (yet). I would now like to add the word "bloat" as both noun and verb. A bloat is a particularly entry or post made (by a blighter) to his blog. The conventional wisdom is that one should post or bloat as often as possible if one is to have any chance, as a blighter, of attracting the elusive bleeder.
Looking back ten years after the original post or bloat, and eight years after the follow-up, I can see very clearly what has happened to blogs, blighters, bleeders and bloaters: in a word - Facebook. The bleeders have deserted the blighters for the cluttered interface and sun-drenched shores of Facebook.
Good riddance to the bleeders.
