This question doesn't really have an answer, but I was thinking about it today. Why do people write blogs? Who are they communicating to? Is it a way to just get their thoughts out of their heads and onto virtual paper? Is it for friends to hear what's going on with them?
Some people get into very personal aspects of their life on their blogs, to the point of "wow, I can't believe they said that in public!" I generally don't do that, instead talking about the strange things that I notice. But I am considering becoming more personal, especially in living out my faith for others to see. It's kind of difficult to live that out over a blog, ya know? I'll have to figure out how to do that one. My "Bout with Doubt" blog entry back in January of this year was a step into that direction though. Expect more of those!
A related question is why do people read blogs? Do we enjoy peeking into other people's lives? Do we want to see ourselves mentioned on one of these blogs, to kind of validate our existence? I'm always shocked that people actually make time to read the rants and raves on my blog!
