It's easy! You can write whatever you want, whenever you want, it doesn't get much better than that. Blogs are accesible and easy to use. You can be as creative as you want or just keep it plain Jane. There are many, many more reasons why people write blog, I'll explain a few. People blog because:
- It allows them to have attention. When people are able to tell someone all the good things they have done, even if it is the entire world, it makes them feel good about themselves.
- It's a way to show people how unique you are; blogs set you apart from the rest of the world.
- You get to complain! If no one else will listen, or you just like to complain, then blogging is right for you.
- You can share what you want with everyone.
- Blogs let people be writers. All these aspiring writers who just can't seem to get published can now share their work with the world.
Blogs began as something we used as a personal publishing place, we could write want we wanted to. Then blogging became categorised, there were blogs on politics, on gaming and on food. People then started to comment on other peoples blogs and people were able to add 'tags' on to their blogs so readers could find what interested them as easily as writing in a 'tag' for example, shoes.
Blogs allows peolpe to have their own identification, something that makes them unique and they can interact with people who enjoy reading what the blogger has to say so they have a shared interests, it makes bloggers feel important.
