I still blog for the same reasons I mentioned last year. I do have (or had) quite a large following on my blog about our homesteading of both people I knew in real life, and those I didn't...but I've just not had time to keep up with it lately and I'm sure many of my readers have moved on. I even have lots of good stuff to post about, too. I imagine that once we begin our next big project, I'll start blogging again to document it. If my readers come back, fine...but if not, I'll still keep using it to document our progress.

Honestly, while I know that others read it, I do it for me. I can't tell you how much joy and entertainment I get when I read old posts. It's like living those days all over again and I love it. It's really no different than a journal except that it's electronic.

I also started another blog about my fitness journey and tri training, but I have that one 100% private. No one sees it but me.

The advantage to blogging over writing in a journal is that I can access my blog from any computer. I don't have to have an actual journal with me and it's not possible to lose it (something I did once with a paper journal!!).

Blogging is about keeping track of my life's differing journeys...for me. I really don't care if anyone else follows along - so blogging is not necessarily about broadcasting one's life for the world to see (contrary to many opinions about it).
