Reasons for blog creation & blog managing

[kelownagirl]

I have had a couple of blogs which I started as a record of my thoughts and experiences in weight loss at first, then cycling, and now triathlon training. Sometimes when someone would ask me about something I had already blogged about, I would just point them to the blog. Eventually, people started reading it. It's not important to me that people read it because it's mainly for my me, but it's nice to get comments once in awhile. I would imagine that to most people, my blog is just a boring commentary about my training (my family says so, lol), but I guess if you're in a similar situation, it's nice to see someone's else's experiences. I enjoy reading people's blogs and keep up with a number of them.

I saw no good reason to have a blog until i saw how handy they were for displaying art. An easy interface and a nice format.

And because of the way the blogs are set up, you might have visitors unexpectedly.

I started blogging because my students were blogging. It was a good way to keep up on the goings-on in their lives, and because they started visiting my blog, I was able to advertise events and programs that I wanted them to know about.

Then, as those students graduated, I kept blogging as a way of staying in touch with them, and others in the cyber world.

I recently started a new blog that I'll use for commenting on other cycling blogs and for pimping out the photos that I take at local races. I didn't want to widely share my other blog, so I started a new one.
