Abandoned blogs

A collection of untended digital gardens.

12 Jun 2025

Half time capsule, half graveyard—this collection of abandoned personal blogs is a reminder of what the internet felt like before the platforms took over. Link rot is real, but props to these bloggers for keeping the lights on and the door cracked for a possible return.

Speaking of leaving things behind: I’m heading out on vacation and hitting pause on Read This for the next 10 days. Back soon!

Read This is curated by Stephen Knezovich. Each issue shares resources and insights to help writers launch, improve & grow their email newsletter. This issue links to a collection by Lucy Pham on Are.na.
