Why blog?

my faceIn The Marketing Whore I read an interesting discussion on blogging entitled Don’t be a blog playa. It is probably useful for a blogger with an open mind. I’m not sure if many of the bloggers toward whom it is aimed are sufficiently self-aware to answer the questions in it both truthfully and honestly. I view blogging from a slightly different perspective, though, and so I’d have asked somewhat different questions.

Of course, the most important question is “Why blog?” I think the answer should be “to communicate my ideas to people who may want to read them.”

Take it from me. Having ideas makes you more interesting to potential readers, showing them that you have interests.

Do people link to your blog posts because they think their readers will be interested in reading yours?

End rant.
