I blog for myself. It’s a great way to keep track of my wine choices, recipes and other interests in one neat (non paper based) place. I don’t know if somebody else reads my blog. Probably not and I don’t care.

I blog because it gives me a chance to clear my mind; to write down my thoughts; to ramble about stuff my friends aren’t interested in; … . It gives me a chance to be me, without thinking about what others might think..

I blog for self promotion, to let others know what I’m doing, to give back to the community, and to make some money. I also found that through reading Problogger, I now really love the blogging process. I look forward to coming up with ideas, writting them down, and hitting POST. It’s exciting!

I blog to share my personal views, ideas, thoughts, experiences, etc in hopes of meeting others out there who share the same ideas as me!

I’ve got to agree, I blog for bacon.

Actually, I blog because I’m between major assignments right now and I’ve been storing up months of technical knowledge that I like to share with people. The Internet is an ugly place, if just one of my tutorials can help somebody make it a little prettier then I hope I’ve done my part.

I blog because writing helps me to crystallize my thoughts. And when I take a step back to look at what I’ve written, I realize that I can share them with the world and help change lives.

I blog for many different reasons, both personal and professional. But it really all boils down to this:

I blog to connect with, listen to and be heard by people from around the world.

I love finding great deals, but I always forget what they are, so I blog about them. I figure if I have to write everything down to remember it, I might as well share it with others. I posted my reasons here : http://www.centsiblesavings.com/2008/10/why-do-i-blog.html

I blog for a combination of reasons or factors; most if not all of which have already been mentioned by others already.

Why do I blog? Hmm.. honestly, for me it is an opportunity to capitalize on writing and idea generation skills so I can make money and leave my regular job.

I love poetry and find blogging and the blog-platform an ideal place to self-advertise my poetry. For a long time I searched, sought or waited for ‘help’ from ’someone’ to help put me out there in the public sphere. Blogging eliminates the frustration I encountered and gives me a personal platform – which I control – to put my writing out there.

I love wiriting about MIndset Optimization skils, or life-coaching skills, based of or from the greatest Manual ever; the Bible! But I did not want to be like any of the other great and not so great life skill coaches out there already; so I combined poetry with life coaching skills on my own platform, My Own Blog!

Blogging has the potential to provide financial freedom, control and creative license. It lends a sense of ownership over one’s creativity.

I blog because I want to be discovered; one of my goals is to be a Motivational Speaker; starting this way with an opportunity or outlet to share my ideas will hopefully lead to the realization of my goals.

I blog also because I have found out that another ‘world’ or society – the blogosphere – exists away from the ‘real’ world we live in. I want to get in quickly and learn as much about it as I can.

I blog to teach people how to start an online business. Since starting my own businesses almost 5 years ago, I've been through the "school of hard knocks" a bit. I've taught hundreds of people how to do effective keyword research, how to narrow down their niche, how to find suppliers, how to do on-site optimization, how to do offsite SEO, and how to integrate blogging and social media in to the mix. Blogging and teaching others has become a passion, and I feel if you do what you love to do, everything else falls in to place.

I originally started to blog on A Blog about Nothing because I enjoy writing, wanted my voice to be heard, and just generally thought it would be fun. Now I blog at Pet-Snakes.com because they are a passion and I enjoy learning/teaching people about snakes

I started blogging because I was not satisfied with some of the other articles I was reading–so I just started writing my own.

I suppose I blog out of enjoyment, not really for the money because I’m not making much!!

I blog because I fear writing and am one hell of a bad speller and it has always stopped me before but not any more.

Why do I blog? “I blog, therefore, I am.” Sort of. I blog to connect with women (and men) trying to understand how to make the Internet work for them. I learn more from my readers than they learn from me. I meet the best people on earth and have some of the best conversations. And then, occasionally, I get to meet these talented folk in person, at workshops and seminars. What can ever be better than that?

Sorry to arrive fashionably late… I missed the call, but fortunately found a humorous on-topic post from a past blog that I’d love to share with you (thanks, Darren, for giving me a great excuse to recycle it!):
