More than I expected too. Now you made me look in the db :)

11 of those 55 blogs have posted something in 2021.

However, only 1 was added in 2021. 2 were added in 2020. 1 in 2019 and 1 in
2018. You have to go back to 2013 to find a year with more than 2 new
blogspot urls added :)

Either the add page or not at all, agreed.  If we want to add it somewhere
I wonder if there are some other platforms that are more used today that
should receive a similar treatment...
