No wonder that blogs for the bloggers, are an important part of their lives. Its uses may be considered as unimportant for the majority, however, for the oldest bloggers this account could never be further from reality. Although it is true that some use them as entertainment to fill some empty hours, also as a safety valve in a constant search for both personal and professional or simply by pointing out a few, as an identity that is not overlooked what they are really out of the network, all of which are expressions, more or less faithful, of life we enjoy, endure, suffer and / or support. But in any case, just happens out of the net, when that life ends when the destination we all find more sooner or later reach us, blogs as personal media can not ignore it. By this I mean that in addition to life, sometimes the death may also pick up weblogs.

The latest example can be found in the physically disabled was found dead at his home in early May 2006. Her name was Jorge Leon and had a blog with the title Spirits Pentapléjicos in which he was writing down his thoughts, his pain and frustration. At the same time, looking for a helping hand to help him end his constant pain, finally got something that reopening the debate on euthanasia. When news broke, the media turned to his blog as a source of rich and reliable information to try to create a human profile beyond those who knew him. It is curious that journalists, despite using fragments of their texts, Initially they dared not publish the full address of the blog, but due to pressure from his blog readers finally came to light.

In this case, a weblog as a tool for communication of pain to live suffering Leon, however the logs can be used for similar purposes, although somewhat more sinister. For example as an account of the approaching death and are aware of it, wanting every moment. This is the case of a suicide that finally got what he coveted, and kept a blog, primadipartire, which was flailing his quest for the best method to end his life. Of course, once this case became public was planted by the controversy in the media echoed, as even the blogger arrived schedule entries to be published subsequently, after his death.

Others, however, are aware that they may die soon, his fate does not depend on them and therefore do not give up. Vernon Lee Evans is a condemned man who is not deterred in their fight for his life. Meet Vernon is his blog, which, in addition to discuss your situation and the death penalty, answered many questions received by e mail and it can maintain with the help of Virginia Simmons transcribing the texts because the prisoner does not have Internet access. I should note that this blog was punctuated by some initial suspicions about the possibility that it was not true, because currently 500 prisoners on death row in U.S. maintain web pages, but Vernon is the only one who has a blog.

But in many cases, death comes without warning. The writer Eduardo Haro Tecglen family received a gift of a personal space to be publishing their articles as a blog. There, besides being able to speak as he did in the different media for whom he worked, had no limitations as the length of his texts, while enriched with the comments received at its inputs by the participation of its readers. The day he suffered his stroke, his wife wrote in the log for him, informing readers that the Cold Lady had claimed that his future was unlikely and that he respected in these difficult moments. The reactions were varied, but in any case his blog was an essential element to channel the different feelings that emerged after the news both for his supporters and their detractors.

However, although Tecglen Haro had a blog, also friends and acquaintances of young bloggers have their tributes and memories that made her affectionately known. Walter Kobylanski (Htmllife) gave his to his friend Sergi on the death of his girlfriend Laura , then changing the colors of your weblog from red to gray in mourning. Although sometimes the word on the gestures are all that is needed at critical times. A short text may be sufficient, is the least that a blogger can do for a friend, relative or acquaintance.

In short, it is well established that our blogs are our tools of communication, sometimes symbols of our personal situation, roadmaps of our lives. Being here is not easy, never has been, but we try to move forward, the best we can, as best we know. The examples I have been finding, I have outlined here are just grains of sand on texts and situations that will surely flood the entire blogosphere, but are an example of life in all its forms, is also recorded on the blogs right now. Personally, that believes that blogs are clumsy or unnecessary is wrong, has not been walked enough for their networks. In fact, in many cases, the issues addressed are very serious in trying to dismiss the whole.
