I'm happily married with a son. My parents, in-laws and most of my college friends live within 10 miles. I'm not close to being lonely and I still blog 6-7 times a week.

  No. I mean, I do NOW, but I blog less for the one I am paid for than my own. I was blogging for over a year when I got my blog "job".

  I'm far from being a career blogger. My Adsense account is up to $16 though. I'm hoping for a payout by Christmas.

  Not in the least I am happily married and simply love to write and the BlogCatalog.com community.
  
  I finally dropped Adsense as I earned $2.94 in seven weeks.

In my case, I started blogging right after a breakup, mostly to let my family know what was going on in my life. After that I was just addicted

11 hours ago you posted this and I responded......here is the response I made on your blog.....

I read your post in Blog Catalog and it did make me think. I too am happily married and blogging really is a way to reflect on the everyday things I do and network with others in a similar position/situation. What i write about is not earth shattering or blow your mind away experiences, it is just the day to day happenings in my life. We are in a rural situation and I find it an inexpensive way to keep in touch with people out there who I have known in some cases for many months, some for a year. When I read their blogs I appreciate my home, friends and family and I feel a sense of contentment which in this day and age is a rare thing!

I always try to respond to posts on my blog.
Hope this helps.

I never committed marriage!

I would think single folks would blog less since they are always out "Looking for love it the wrong places..."

I am happily single and never lonely.

Loneliness resides within, find what is within and the loneliness disappears.

im partnered up, i dont think blogging is geared toward the singles. i think blogging in general, can be somewhat of a lonely exercise, that is why it is good to network and be on sites like bc. btw, this is true of any work-at-home job.

I'm single, but that's not due to my blogging; It's due to working a gazillion hours a week.

I am attached!!!! but I have noticed that I have been neglecting my boyfriend and puppy. Been sort of obsessed with this whole blog thing. I think I need to take a step back... step away from the computer.

I've been blogging for two years. And I got engaged two months ago. Blogging hasn't affected my love life.

It could be like anything could be a factor in keeping you single.
