WHY BLOG?

This blogging link discusses why people blog. The "author" (director? chief blogmeister?) opines that there are seven reasons why people blog: self-documentation, improving writing, self-expression, medium appeal, information, passing time, and socialization.

I have another reason: self-aggrandizement. Perhaps that's part of self-documentation, but I question whether we all don't want to be some sort of celebrity, even if it's as a cyber being. We all want a following, don't we?

By the way, did you know that if you spell-check your blog, "blog" is not a recognized word in the spell-checker???
