TourGuide: Here's a typical abandoned blog. Take a look around.
Fusion50: When was it abdomened
TourGuide: early 21st century.
Fusion50: why
TourGuide: it should have been destroyed in the Google purge
TourGuide: The owner left and never came back
Fusion50: good move
Fusion50: but its not distroyed
TourGuide: When they shut down the blogosphere, they didn't bother to erase them all.
Fusion50: why borther
Fusion50: bother
Fusion50: i dont see what so special
Hstrygrl: Fusion50, all surviving blogs were declared protected historic sites
TourGuide: Right, content plays no role in preservation. The only thing that's 'special' is that it survived.
Hstrygrl: It's the retro templates, the drop shadows, that stupid header and things like counter styles etc that are interesting
TourGuide: This is one of three surviving Blogger sites that used TicTac (Blueberry).
Hstrygrl: It screams Dan Cederholm from 8 miles away
Fusion50: so its like an art thing they kept it
Hstrygrl: Tictac blue was less popular than Tictac green :-0
Fusion50: omg
artgeek: lol! Where'd you get that
Fusion50:so like thousands of people had blogs that looked exactly the same -what the point
artgeek: i think it's hysterical!!!!
TourGuide: The other tictac templates that survived are this one and this one.
artgeek: you're making my head spin
TourGuide: Any other questions? If not, meet me here and I'll answer any additional questions.

I believe Nostradamus wrote about the coming Google purge--his verses follow:
The bogs of the Sight Bar Swamp will be drained
Great misery will spread across the land as millions depart the Pea Sea.
Empty threes will die, unheard, as the windows in the dump truck fly toward the Moon,
And saints will panic as armies of doughnuts fall from the screaming kites of Zelpschmeil--Nostradamus, 1535.
(Crank historians agree that "bog" means "blog," "Sight Bar"="cyber," "Pea Sea"=PC, and "empty Threes"=either mp3s or WAV files).
