Why do you blog?

Lance asks why do you blog? Here is my list:

  • I seem to get better assistance for questions I have from bloggers than from Experts Exchange. So it's been great for getting help/ideas when coding.
  • Reading blogs keeps me more informed of the latest developments (both IT and otherwise). Writing a blog inspires me to seek out and find better ways of doing things.
  • I am the only developer on my current project, it gets lonely - blogging makes me feel like I have co-workers.
  • I needed to re-design my site and using Roller turned out to be an easy way to do it. I didn't realize that putting together a new theme would get me committer status!
  • I love Roller and I love using Roller.
  • I like writing HTML everyday.
  • Reading new blog posts is like getting good e-mail in your Inbox. Reading blogs and writing on this one has surpassed my e-mail checking addiction - which has subsided greatly.
  • Blogging makes for great advertising of your company if you run a small company like I do.
  • You get more visitors, check out my increase in visitors in the last 6 months. I setup Roller on this site in August.

Well, I'd say the last reason has something to do with the quality of your posts. I get a fraction of the hits you do, but then I write a fraction of useful information ;-)
