I started a blog and joined this catalog for two reasons:
1. Because I love to write and starting a blog urges me to follow my passion and
2. To meet other like-minded individuals...humorous, talented, creative people...who are putting out quality stuff that I can enjoy.
I don't mind the debates...that's where I find interesting people.....and I don't even mind the drama....but why are you here?

I think some love the drama far more than they love blogging.

I joined BlogCatalog for the same reasons as you.

Same as NP. Words and images. However I find more connection here on the discuss board than I do via my blog.

  Why do you think that is Rivy?

  I think people respond more to words/topics than they do art (writing, drawing, whatever). The response to those are primarily: "Nice work." "Interesting." etc., etc. But no actual discussion about one's art is triggered. Why? That could be an interesting discussion.

I avoid the drama. Life is too short. I try to extend and focus on the positive as much as possible. (To each his/her own I guess.)

Definitely some great minds here, helpful people, wonderful blogs. I'm here to enjoy and be enjoyed.

I have no complaints.

cookingasshole told me to. He told me it was here and fun and I followed. I blog becuase I like to tell people about our homestead, our animals, and my cooking.
As far as drama I could do with out it I have enough living in Iron City TN.

Initially, I didn't know about BC being a social network for bloggers. I just took it as another blog directory and submitted my blog. A member added me as a friend and then began my BC life. I enjoy being here as I get a chance to meet people with so much diversity. I've found some really good human beings here and have learned new things from them.
