Despite what I read in this WikiHow article about reasons to not blog, it's time to break out the virtual pen and start blogging again.
To refute a couple of the points in that article, I think that blogging does a body good, whether people read it or not. The article says that no one will ever find your blog and it's just like writing a journal that is not online but then goes on to say that anything you post online can come back to haunt you and everybody can see it. Seems a little contradictory to me.
But I think it's good for people to articulate thoughts, even with the fear that everybody can see it and could criticize what you blog, it helps to put the brain on paper. Plus, a little criticism and feedback is a good thing.
Anyway, there were a few good ideas in the article: contributing to a wiki, commenting on other people's blogs, the pain of reading a random blog on a daily basis, etc.
But for me, it's time to make time for blogging. Maybe not for the good of anyone else but me.
