What reasons do you blog?  The Phillipine Enquirer recently posted an article from a blogger who writes just exactly why he blogs and the reasons for starting a blog.

Why he started a blog: 
“A friend had put up a blog that, against all his modest expectations, proved to be a huge hit. It attracted so many readers in so short a time that, with the easy addition of free Google ads, the lucky bastard was soon earning a tidy sum from this new thang called blogging.”

*Some bloggers have something called luck where their blog starts up immediately while others can write the best article ever written and still suffer to get traffic and money.

“My blog doesn’t attract steep traffic, either, but why should it? I write mostly about theater and the arts. Yawn, and good luck to me. At a time when “Pinoy Big Brother” rules the roost, waxing orgasmic over an electrifying but barely-seen play is, at least from the standpoint of luring people in, a head-scratcher.”

*As long as you enjoy what you write, traffic can make you feel really good about what you write, but write for yourself, and enjoy what you write.

“That very freedom, of course, is suspect to some. Bloggers are merely slackers, it’s been said. The blogosphere is a vast army of keyboard tappers with time to waste, and so waste it by churning out verbal tripe on everything from their boring little lives to their abysmal opinions about the rest of the world—not that anyone would care to hear them.”

*Blogging is of course one of the best ways to get what you want to say heard.  Where else but the internet can I so easily get what I write read by over 10,000 people per day?
