A Page of Inactive GeoBlogs

These are geoblogs that have moved or have been inactive through all or most of 2021 [updated Nov 2022]; many have been inactive longer than that. Several classics on this list are worth perusing if you haven't already. I'll leave you to the exploring.

These blogs have been deleted from my Geoblogosphere page (except when reactivated or sporadically active), and are now shown as one link: A List of Some Inactive GeoBlogs (this post). There are several more inactive geoblogs; you used to be able find a complete list at Ron Schott's site, but it's offline (se a version from 2015 at the Wayback Machine here). If you think you shouldn't be on this list, let me know.

NOTE: My Geoblogosphere page does not necessarily link to all geoblogs.

The list as currently updated shows blogs with no activity after 2022. Last updated 06Nov2025.
