Check out WordPress. Many have found it to be an excellent blogging platform.

i'm not just enjoying it, it can make a difference!

[ezhel]

some people blog because it is very ideal for those who wants to participate and wanted to share their thoughts....

I love blogging. It's funny how I tend to be less outgoing in real life, but when it comes to blogging I'm perfectly happy to put myself out there. I suppose it' a space I feel comfortable in and a media I enjoy using.

[drpepper]

i have both reasons for blogging.. for business and pleasure..


i prefer the pleasure, where i can vent out all my feelings, angst, joys and all that..ofcourse earning!

for business, when someone wants to post or asked to write an article for you that you barely know or hate is really difficult! but you're still earning which is a good thing...

I love it as well. Its great to rant online. When people comment on it, its even better.

I love writing information. My blog is an informational one. I liked to put informational sites.

I guess its a passion.

I agree with you fi you have the passion, you will enjoy doing it, you tend to have a creative mind and ideas are keep on coming...

[bochgoch]

I do ...

I think the key to good blogging is writing about things you like & are interested in ... interest = content = traffic = income!

[ericdesrosiers]

Its a hobby for me...

I only do it because of the demand from my visitor community (the blog is separate from the site, supplemental). No, I don't enjoy blogging. Horrible ROI...

I used to do it out of boredom/love/a need to rant. I ran a personal website, some forums, a few blogs here and there... then someone came up to me and said "Why don't you make money from it?" and my personal integrity has kinda gone downhill since I became a 'sellout'. My bank account isn't complaining though

I spend a lot of time writing articles - where most of the material comes from something that's happened during the day - and spent most of the time posting in article directories. Upon discovery of blogging - some moons ago - it was a surprise and delight to see how very easily (and quickly) one's words can go up and out.

So to answer the question... do I love to blog? My reason is just like many others, by posting you create content which creates backlinks which hopefully drives visitors, etc., etc.

However, the child part of me is just thrilled when I hit PUBLISH that voila! there I am - even if no one reads a single word LOL! My 15 minutes of fame
