The number one rule of this industry is to never close anything or take anything off line.

I was unemployed for a few years and had little interest in working for someone... I spent my days creating blogs. I would create two or three blogs in the morning, and spend my afternoons writing for older blogs. I have hundreds of blogs and hosting is cheap enough. I still have them; I'll never take them off line. They don't get nearly the traffic they used to but they still get traffic and still make money - almost enough to pay my mortgage.

Every afternoon I still update one or two a day....
