On and off from 2007 through early 2011, I wrote a blog entitled Stargazing for the S&T website.
I had a lot of fun doing this, because I got to write about any old topic I wanted, as long as it was in any way connected to astronomy. But when I started working on the SkyWeek TV show, I simply ran out of available hours per week. I also get to talk about anything I want in SkyWeek, but video emphasizes presentation over content. I can reach a broader audience with SkyWeek, but I can't cover nearly as wide a range of subjects, or delve as deeply into them.
I find myself still referring back to those old Stargazing blogs quite frequently; there's a lot of good stuff in there. I may start writing meta-blogs calling attention to old blogs or groups of blogs that I find particularly interesting. Meanwhile, in case anybody's interested, is a complete list of all Stargazing blogs from 2007 through 2011:
