At the beginning, life can seem a bit lonely in the blogosphere, so kudos to you for taking that first step and starting a blog. Whether your purpose has evolved over the years or you’ve stuck around for the same reasons that got you started, we truly enjoyed reading your responses to our #bloggerasks tweet on why you blog.
@CprincessUK broke it down in list form, music blogger
@LinerNotes crafted a mission statement, and
@fortnow blogged about blogging for Blogger’s 10th anniversary. Others of you kept your raison d’être under 140 characters. Here are a few of them, short and sweet:
“I started blogging because I loved my wedding and talking about weddings and my fiancé didn't - I needed a community” (
@CMatlick)
“Main reason: creative writing outlet. Aux reasons: counteract stereotypes/preconceived ideas abt Pakistan, Pakistanis, & Islam :)” (
@desigurrl)
“I started blogging after a near death experience to create a legacy for my three young children” (
@FrillyHills)
“Started blogging to write about food and Flavor of Italy's culinary tourism business” (
@FlavorofItaly)
Whether it’s your
love of magic, to
share tips on shaving, to chronicle life with the kids, or for reasons you still haven’t figured out, we want to know -- why do you blog?
