Why Blog? – a meme

by Jennifer

I was going through my email this morning, and there was something in the MommyCommunity.com one that caught my eye…  she has created a meme to help explain why we blog.  Want to join in?  If so, head over to MommyCommunity.com!

Onto the meme:

Do you blog?
~ Why, yes, I do!  I actually have *ahem* 5 blogs, but I only really pay attention to two-and-a-half.  Time issues, interest, etc.

Why do you blog?
~ Well, I started blogging to go along with my handbag business – an easier to get the word out instantly that through the newsletter.  Then I added in a gift guide, and a blog was the logical choice to post reviews and ideas.  I like to cook, and my SIL likes to get copies of my recipes… I had made her a CD of them, but after a couple of moves it got lost.  I also had a computer crash and lost most of them, so I decided to add in a recipe blog so that I could keep track of my fav. recipes and share them with family and friends at the same time.  However, once you start blogging, you find that there are times that you have something you want to say, but it just doesn’t quite fit onto a business blog about handbags or a gift review blog… thus the personal blog.

So yes, that equals 5 blogs…

So, why do you blog?  Please share your URL below, along with a reason or two… or join in the meme and post it on your blog!

I enjoyed reading your reasons why you blog. I too have quite a few blogs but I find them easier to maintain compared to regular websites.

Hey,
I blog to:
1 – download and unpack thoughts in my mind, just to give myself an expression, an “interactive” type journal.

2 – to encourage and influence others
3 – to develop a base of contacts and network socially and professionally

That’s me at http://www.fredmckinnon.com

Oh, blogs are SUBSTANTIALLY easier to update than regular sites! I love them for that! And I like the interactive part of blogs that you just don’t get with a static site.

Thanks!
