Today the question “why do you blog” and just what does the experience offer you is nice but I’d like to take it a step further and ask YOU -”Just what is it that you expect to get out of blogging? ” You can expand that to the internet on a whole if necessary.
One of the main reasons is I know from my own experience not having a clear vision keeps you going off course. Things do take time and goals change as we learn and see new things that peak our interest.
I think one of the most powerful tools would be for you to vocalize in a comment what your goals and aspirations are. When you do that I believe it empowers you to head towards that accomplishment.
For me blogging started out as a way to stay out of trouble. I had a long love of computers and the internet and when I came back to Texas in November it was just the thing to get into. I loved it right off the bat and enjoyed all the hours spent on the application side of blogging. The people side of blogging has been a strange journey as many ” friends have come and gone. I actually don’t stress these issues like I used to and realize that people are people and that is the way things are. I did expect to have better relations with some owners of some sites but often found that when people get a little notoriety they often become DICKS 
I don’t get that ? I found the better I’m doing the nicer I become I do appreciate the few friends that I do have to be honest..
I have been able to spend a lot of time with my family and for the most part things are going GREAT:)
Blogging to me is just a ticket to so many opportunities some awesome some don’t work out but we learn none the less I have alot of exciting cool things coming up. I was taking my time and letting the wheels spin. I do hate to see when people turn on each other and back stab people. I would like for you to share about where you see you and your online activities leading to both in the recent future and in the long run.
I will be reading your comments closely to see if there are things that I can do to get you there a little quicker

I blog to relax. I blog to create a personal sense of motivation. I blog because if I can help even just one person a tiny bit – then I am headed in the right direction. I blog because its there!

@Benny Greenberg:
I was wondering who was lurking around in the wee hours of the night
And just a person that I have benefited from knowing many times
Your guidance and peer support has snapped me awake more then once:)
Thanks for stopping BY and adding to the topic
Have a great day and people should go by your blog for sure
I blog because it is fun. I have met many wonderful people here. They are always good for support and advice. I read things that make me think and re-evaluate. I started blogging to promote my website. That didn’t really pan out. I attempted a contest. I was really surprised at the lack of participation. But that is okay. I love to photograph. So this is a venue that I can share with. I have a soap box… (GMO-Monsanto) This is a place to air my concerns. Blogging is place to network with people with similar interests. I would love to “monitize” my blog, but I really don’t have the free time. So I will just go on and enjoy the interaction and friendships I have made.

I blog because I don’t have any friends in the real world! Just joking…I started off blogging because a co-worker of mine said it was the next best thing (that was 2 years ago). I’m a slow starter, I didn’t get started until last year, and only this year have I started to earn an income from it. I blog because it now pays the bills.
I blog to share my passion and my ideas about food.

I blog because I enjoy learning about technology and like having the avenue to express myself and my feelings. I do not feel like I am providing any service/benefits to others, but that is really not my intent at this time. I just like making weird animated gifs and then talking about random things!!

I blog for three reasons. One, I blog to show my expertise; that’s my business blog. Two, I blog to work on making money; that’s my internet marketing blog. Three, I blog because I have things to say that I don’t have anyone to say them to; that’s my hidden, private blog. And I’m writing all the time; I might need to get a regular job.

I blog because I want to share what is going on in my brain with others. I love writing. I hope to get good enough at it to do blogging as a full time income, just so I can dedicate all my working hours to it.
