Help me decide the fate of this blog

I can't quite decide what to do with teleTwenties. I'm still passionate about telecommuting for the ecological benefits and the freedom of no boss looking over your shoulder. I never want to return to sky rise office building life, pushing paperwork around a desk and scheduling three unproductive meetings a week, but don't quite know where I'll end up.
With the crash of the media, I decided my journalism degree just wasn't going to cut it, but am sad about giving up my dream. I keep telling myself I'll do freelance on the side after graduation, but we all know how that goes.
So back to teleTwenties, where do I go from here? I can't chronicle my daily telecommuting life anymore. Originally, I imagined this as a gathering place for telecommuters, but will be out of contact too much to gain a thriving community. I'm not making any decisions today and would love some feedback and ideas.

I think that the economy is making us all try to reconsider what we are doing. Maybe your blog could follow more of this theme. I think a lot of people can relate to that.
Kristine,
You know I love your "stuff" :)
Are you keeping up with three bridesmaids?
Maybe you could post monthly or when possible. I'll still be here for you!
Cindy, You've been such an awesome supporter! Thanks so much. You did give me some food for thought though. Maybe I just slow down the printing schedule.
Just because you don't do it anymore doesn't mean you can't blog about doing it. You still have expertise that other people need to hear and there is always money to be made in driving traffic to any site. Keep it up (and maybe take a little hiatus). Announce it on the blog though.
You don't say what your second BA is in, so that might make a difference in what you end up doing. But I agree with Michael Flowers--as long as you have current knowledge, people will probably be interested in what you have to say. If you keep up with it even on a parttime basis, it might be valuable to someone.

You have good PR I'm sure you could sell the blog if you just can't keep it up anymore.
teleTwenties could be a blog about women or people in their 20s who are using telecommunications in different ways. You could blog about the latest internet crazes, people meeting online (couples, mom groups etc). Chronicle how telecommunications is effecting a generation?
If you have a google rating you could sell it and do something else.
Wow, I would hate to see you leave the blogging world. Maybe you could put out a call for guest bloggers to help keep your blog current. There is also places like Google's Knol that has some articles that give permission for reprint. Even putting up a post once a week would keep it alive.
Don't leave us! We love your posts! There are some great ideas here.
Christine, I am new to the world of blogging or replying to them, and just tried to post a lengthy comment. I will condense it. Just discovered you and your site, thanks for reaching out to humanity that works from home and knows both joy and isolation. My profession is a medical transcriptionist, married, have a family, but the 9-5 can at times be a bit uncomfortable. Worst days I want to get off the do not call register and hope telemarketers call and just to hear another human voice. On a good day, at peace with self, Creator, Family, and world. Feedback? Do what your heart is urging, be still within yourself and the answer will become apparent. I hope to find others who at least want to acknowledge each other on the journey.. My email is david.sonofhashem@gmail.com, if you care to say hi from time to time.. May your endeavors be all they are intended.. Warmest regards!
