-Mort's Blog-

Cat at computer played by Lisa G.'s pet Lucky


What happens to your blog when you're dead?
Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2004 20:28:34 -0800

Somewhere, someone has started a blog, and died.
Relatives and friends may sever the hyperlinks to it - it could be painful
to see the link - but unless they can determine the username/password from
the deceased's computer, it will remain active. Never again updated.
Regular viewers of the site who don't know the author personally will
forever wonder what happened.

As time goes by, might this become an issue?

Sincerely,

Benedict

Hi there,

We occasionally get notifications from the families of deceased bloggers,
asking us to remove old blogs. Also, I expect some people deliberately
leave behind account information like this so that things can be taken
care of after they have passed on. One way or another though, it usually
works out, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Thanks for using Blogger!

Sincerely, Graham
