This may be a surprise to you, but do you know the average life of a website? Sitting down? Three (3) months. The "experts" claim a site which is not updated after 3 months is dead and the chance of it coming back are slim to none. We've been here going on 15 years and it isn't easy. Just when you think you've got it right the nuts come off the buggy wheels in one way or another, lose a writer? Loss of technical folks, husband/partner picking fights with readers, death in the family, sponsor(s) leaving, economy in the dumper, take your choice. I'm delighted to see new sites and sad to see them start to go and there isn't a thing I can do to help them, heck I've got enough problems of my own. Anyone have a suggestion on possible sponsors who aren't in bankruptcy? Good luck!
