I was asked the other day why blogs were interesting to me... so I had a think and
this is what I thought:
- Done well, it's more personal - it's a window into someone's thinking and their life
- It can also be a portal to new ideas, interesting info, instruction or a collection of some sort
- Blogs present a more balanced view than the general media - you see more people writing about more subjects in more styles (admittedly both good and bad)
- Blogs present life in more depth - this can be really passionate stuff about important causes or just an insight into a personal daily dilemma, but it's now revealed, rather than hidden.. it's an open door
So why do
I blog?
- I want to share a lot of info that I have collected
- I want to revisit my past - as I delve into my interests and collections of images and documents I unearth something about me that I had forgotten, or had submerged
- I want to clarify my thoughts - and writing helps me do that
- I want to know more, and my blogs give me a reason to research a topic I may have otherwise neglected.
You may have different thoughts... but that's it from me, for now.
