Pros and Cons of Blogging
Sometimes I really wonder why people blog? For lovers of blogging, it is about connecting with millions of others through the Internet and sharing thoughts and ideas and I little piece of themselves. For haters of blogging, it's all just a waste of time, just talk to someone! I am in the middle. Mostly, because when I blog I don't get much feedback. I have no idea how many people have looked at my blog or care. I don't know if they like what I have to say or not. I feel like I put a piece of myself out there, but don't much for it. I do like getting to get thoughts out of my head and onto the screen. I used to write a journal for this, but just don't have the time. So, blogging is my answer to that. I see both sides of the argument and am kinda wishy washy on the subject. What do you think?

Suzy, this has been my dilemma with blogging as well. I know sometimes it's a question of time, or the fact that the post is so well-written I have nothing to add. Asking questions is one good way of upping the reader quotient, though.

This is a common bloggers dilemma. When I was in my high blogging time, I found a community of bloggers and we all read each other's blogs and commented. Things changed, and I don't have as much of a community on that blog, so I don't blog as much and then it becomes a vicious cycle because everyone knows I have no new content...alas. I agree, asking questions is good. Also, reading folks that blog for a living helps--I love Chris Brogan. http://www.chrisbrogan.com/
