Now, Let’s take a look why people blog.
Why blog?
Anne Mathewson of Fishbucket says,
Herman Melville put it best when he said,
"We can’t live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and re-turn to us as results."
In other words, To Communicate.

Why blog?
I don't want to straight-face you, Race or chase you, track or trace you, Or dis-grace you or displace you, Or define you or confine you. All I really want to do Is, baby, be friends with you.
In other words, To be a friend.

Why blog?

Sheila Lennon:
“….I blog because information is en-ergy. …..thanks for asking.”
In other words, …..? To get energy?
Good Blogs are …
NOT about the total number of readers or page views.
But the “authority” you get by being linked to by other blogs.
“ The more you link, the more others will link to you, and the more traffic and readers you will get.”
To be a successful blog… A successful blog therefore has to
balance
itself between a writer’s own take on the world and others.
Concluding,,,,,
“ the blog will always inform and enrich the column, and often serve as a kind of free-form, free-associative research”
Any Questions?
