Mitch Mitchell has been running by my blog, bopping me on top of my head, calling me “Kiddo” and telling me my blog’s not mobile friendly. I told him I couldn’t be bothered to care before coffee. But I fixed it – a little. Now he’s thrown down the gauntlet, issuing a video rebuttal of my post, “Is Blogging Dead?” I say “thrown down the gauntlet” because Mitch has me all figured out – he knows I’ll take that as a challenge, and he knows he can drag me, kicking and screaming, over to YouTube to issue a rebuttal to his rebuttal.
The man can even get me to read about sports, and that’s no small feat.
So here’s Mitch’s video:
And here’s mine:
Note that the title means nothing – the thing I lament is that I fell for this challenge, and the whole time I was recording this out in my back yard, I was being eaten alive by Texas fire ants. I’ve probably got twenty welts on each forearm, with no Benadryl or Adolph’s Meat Tenderizer in the house.
@#$%ing fire ants.
I have to laugh – I was trying to find my own post, earlier, and searched: jahangiri blog dead – and found this blast from the past: Blogging with a Silver Bullet (See? Almost 250 comments on that one!!) Should I have saved this whole topic for Halloween?

LOL, that wasn’t supposed to be a challenge but you handled it well. Fire ants; now you know why I rarely go outside except for the lake. ?
BTW, you asked me how your site looks on mobile for me. It looks fine… but I had to turn my phone sideways to add my name and email address, as the comment box was too big (I’m commenting from the phone).

Thank you, thank you! ::bows::
Fire ants are evil. Fortunately, though the itching is intense at first, and painful, I appear to have some magical resistence to their venom – the welts have already faded and the itching mostly subsided. I know people who suffer the torments of the damned for days, if not weeks, when they get bitten.
I really don’t know how to change the mobile theme – tell it to Jetpack support – they claim they’re there for everyone (but then define “everyone” – apparently – as people paying at least $99/year).
