So five reasons why I blog….

1. Although I disliked writing at school, and vowed to never write another essay, I discovered that it’s not the writing I dislike, but using a pen. However, nowadays I can use a keyboard, and whilst I’d never pass an RSA or Pitmans examination with any real speed, I’m fairly competent on a keyboard, and touch type in my own style (more than two fingers!) most of the time. So #1 reason, is I want to write stuff.
2. I like making notes of what I’ve done, or how I felt perhaps, and then looking back over it later on, much like reading one’s own old diaries.
3. I like the interaction with other people. It’s good to get comments of course, one to know folks are reading my drivel, and secondly, it can stimulate discussion and argument.
4. This can lead onto friendships. I’ve got online friends going back 16-17 years now, back to Amateur bulletin board days. Sometimes online friends can become so much more of course, can’t they Kathy?
5. It’s something to do. Not that I don’t have plenty to do as it is, but as I work with computers all day, it’s nice to have something to do on a computer that isn’t computer-related. Just on a social level. I like the whole Web 2.0 thing, the social networking.
