Why do I blog?
I enjoy it.
Sometimes people don’t take enjoyment seriously enough.
It’s not an ambitious reason, but it’s worthwhile.

Three reasons
It is one way to praise the things I love
I have something to say (hopefully worthwhile)
I enjoy it
My boss makes me.
Tyler, why are you surfing the internet. Get back to work.
Why are either of you surfing the net? Get back to work.
Here is why I have a blog:
http://takeyourvitaminz.blogspot.com/2008/02/why-blog.html
because i think my husband loves to hear me say, “let me just fix this sentence.”
because it pays well
because it’s even easier than remembering to email updates and pictures to friends and family (that was the catalyst)
because sometimes i have something to communicate, but don’t know who’s interested to listen…maybe nobody and that’s okay, too
i like to have a record of my life and my photography, and interact with other people who care about it.
i have no idea. help.
Danielle, it’s all about photoshop disasters and tricking people into thinking you’re gonna vote for Obama.
Bacause I just love to use the phrase “spot on”.
Because I want my kids (when they are so inclined) to a. know what was important to me; and b. know what I thought about what was important to me.
I like the connection of blogging. When you live far away from some of your closest friends, it’s easy to feel disconnected, esp. in the everyday kind of things. Blogging helps me feel like a part of peoples’ lives who I can’t sit down with as much as I want to (including friends who live down the street, but because we all have young kids it’s too much work to get together).
If I didn’t, I’d have to do something else, like ministry.
Because I can…
and…
because I enjoy it ;)
I blog to work out my thought about, and to encourage, generosity. http://Joshuaharber.com
I read Spencer’s and Piper’s blog on brevity. I thought they were remarkable, too. I started writing my blog in 100 words.
http://morningjournal.livejournal.com
(Note: The Web address does not count in the total required amont of 22 words. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.) JLB
Because sometimes I just have to write it down to remember! If it gets read, that’s an extra blessing.
Because I enjoy fantasizing that somewhere, some place, people are actually reading me. Ha
I blog because I am. Actually, I don’t blog at all..
