Why Blog?
I dunno.....'cuz I wanna?
Well, TigerHawk talks about the friends he's made and I agree. Perhaps the most amazing thing to happen through blogging has been making friends with some of the smartest, kindest, funniest, and most interesting people. It's like being in college and enjoying all the diverse people, minus the buttheads (check that, there's buttheads in the blogosphere, I just don't have to smell them--wait, that sounds really bad) and roommates (actually, I had good roommates, so I can't complain), so it's way better.
Also, I like sharing ideas and honing them, too. People smarter than me correct my stinkin' thinkin' and that makes me smarter--well, a little.
The money generally sucks, but I make my own hours and can work with a toddler sitting on my head which is a bonus.

I agree with you. I have met some very nice and thoughtful people over the blogsphere whom I could not have met any other way.
My take on blogging is that it really does not matter if you get a lot of comments or, even none. I think it is good to think and write and just have fun doing it. Getting nice comments is certainly a bonus and it makes me feel happy when I get them. But...I don't need them. I did have a person write me once and tell me that he changed his mind about suicide after he read one of my posts. That made me cry and I was so thankful for that. You never know who you might reach.
I don't blog for anyone other than myself. It's a hobby. Some people collect stamps or quilt, I blog. Yeah - comments and discussion are nice, but for me it's fun and cathartic.
