Are blogs a dying breed?

 As you might have gathered, I like knitting and crochet.  Anyway, recently I have searched for other blogs, as an interesting pattern caught my eye, and the ones I looked at haven't had any new posts for about 7/8 years.  So, this made me wonder if vlogs are slowly taking over.

So, I wonder, if  you're reading this, do you have your own blog?  When was the last time you posted?  If you haven't been blogging, what are you doing instead, vlogging?

It's not something I think I would like to do, as I don't think I photograph well, so the thought of being on screen talking leaves me cold.

I think I'll stick to writing this blog.......I might even start posting on Fidgetty Fingers again as well.    

Can I ask a question, please?

I'm trying my best to get back into the habit of writing again. So my question is...does writing a blog post count as writing?  And would that be free writing, or structured writing?
I think it would count as structured rather than free writing, as I usually think of a topic to write about and then write it, but there is only reviewing before pressing the publish button, in order to check for mis-spelt words and sentences that make nooooooooooooooo sense at all.  But I have found that the more I sit at the keyboard and type, the less mistakes I make, and my fingers are finding the correct keys the bulk of the time.  Occasionally my fingers will catch two letters rather than the one I want, so I might get the letter I want and the adjacent to it on the keyboard, which is no worse than your brain going quicker than your pen when writing with pen on paper, and you find when you read through that you have missed entire words out, but you know what goes where and adjust it accordingly.
So, does a blog post constitute writing? As I am trying quite hard to get myself back into writing.
