As I Xi It v2.3

When I was writing the blurb for my “About” section, it made me wonder why people blog. A quick google showed that I’m not the only one wondering. Most of the stuff that popped up was about how the blog was the equivalent of the modern day diary. Some people blog in order to impart their “knowledge” (and I use that term loosely) about various things to the world while for others its a place to vent.

Past blogs of mine tended to be about what I thought were interesting things I got up to on a daily basis, it was a bit like a public email which my chums could jump onto and see what I was up to. My last blog was a photoblog because I became too lazy to write and thought how apt it’d be for me, as a photographer, to let the photos to do the talking. I remember that the accompanying text that went with my first few photos were rather long and a friend pointed out in one of the comments how I seemed to be writing more even though the point of it was for to economise on words. Subsequent posts however were usually a few lines or even a few words. I think there was an entry where I just wrote “?” or perhaps it was “??”.

So let me ask those of you who blog – why do you do it??
