Why Blog?

Why do people use blogs? Or, more to the point, what about me? Why blog?

I know a lot of you have asked this question of yourself at least once, and some of you have even asked others why you should write a weblog. It is a solid question and one that is understandable.

It's not like you are going to pick up a pen and paper and actually write until your hand seizes up. No, first you have to have access to a computer with an Internet connection. Then you have to know where blogging is available. THEN you have to figure out all the gizmos and do-hickeys involved in just getting started.
