[Pinoy Gay Blogs] Where Are They Now?

When I first started working with Pinoy Gay Blogs more than six months ago, I was really excited about the opportunity. It took me a while to get a definite feel for it and eventually I settled for aiming to write a review once a week.

In recent weeks I've noticed that sites that have been featured in the past are no longer as active as they used to be so I thought it might be a good idea to check on everyone first before moving forward once more.

So here it is, every blog featured thus far and where they are now:
