Why Do You Blog?

I blog because I do enjoy writing. Also, I have a lot of opinions and I enjoy feedback from others who have similar opinions as well as others who have completely opposite opinions. Sometimes it's a good way to share a feeling about or work out a conflict with a particular person without actually bringing it up face to face. Sometimes it's just a desire to put something "out there." Where out there is I'm really not sure but you catch my drift. I was really touched when I read this article about blogging in yesterday's San Francisco Chronicle. It's worth the read. Why do you blog?
