honestly, just boredom..nothin deeper than that -
why did you start blogging ? -
Experimentation, my good man, a decision made through a stubborn case of unemployment, and it has been more fun than I expected. -
To get some exposure, and to share my opinions about something I care about -
As a creative outlet and to meet other bloggers and get involved in a community.
I absolutely love blogging. I think the fact that I have gotten to know so many other people, from all around the globe, that I would never have met otherwise, is probably the best thing about blogging. -
Creative outlet. I was basically bored with everything going on. Combined with being opinionated about everything, blogging was the best choice to express myself. I love it! -
I joined a NASA program, and my friends and family all fired questions at me. I thought I'd try to start a blog that everyone could read, so I wouldn't have to keep writing my answers over and over again in emails!
Honestly, I only thought my mother and a few close friends would subscribe and follow it, long-term. but FOX news found it, put it and my on the air and it just exploded. I did another project for the space program, so I just kept writing. I'm starting my third this month so I guess it's kinda turned into a JOB, lol...

Well, some blog to provide information to prospect. Initially, i start to blog to keep a record of my happening and for fun. Then i realize it a place where my friends can catch up with me. -
I got diagnosed with cancer and couldn't go back to school, so i started blogging a couple of months ago... ugh i was also seriously depressed by all of the "cancer blogs" i found on the internet that were serious and sad and NOT encouraging at all. i wanted to start something that was kind of funny to keep my friends updated and not worried (because my diagnoses isn't serious or particularly life-threatening)
I LOVE the community i've found by blogging and i definitely want to continue even after my treatments are over...

That's really a good reason! And I'm happy to read that you want to change the way people normally think about a disease and being all sad. It's not fun to be sick, but positive thinking can mean so much more! I will definitely take a look on your blog!! Happy blogging and all the luck with your treatments! -
I think that is an awesome reason to blog...also it keeps your mind on positive thoughts rather then the negative..best wishes..I hope you go into remission soon..

Why did I start blogging...well it was kind of a random thing I did haha. But now I just want to share things I experience in my life and I illustrate it with my own drawings. Also you get to know new people! Also very nice! There are a lot of interesting blogs out there!

Because I love watching tv and movies, thats why i started to write about my favorite series and upcoming movies
(links at my profile, haha) -
originally cause i wanted to take a different approach to looking for a better job. I thought if I wrote about my field, my true knowledge and understanding of the business would speak for itself...and give me an edge over the other 30,000 applicants!!! Now...I actually have developed a following (small) from around the globe...and it is fun and unique to think that I type something off the top of my head in my home, and within 24 hours people from around the world are reading it!! -
I started to blog just to write. I've been working on my writing ever since and have actually sold a few articles. -
I'm very passionate about writing, and I saw my blog as a good way to express myself and to show people that there's more to me than just that silly hedgehog-loving girl. I've always loved to write, so blogging was kind of like a godsend to me. Before it I had no clue how to share my writing with the world. -
Because I am awesome. And it would be selfish of me to not share myself with the world (women).-
I wonder what the women in the world would do, if you didn't had your blog...
-
Good question. They would probably live the exact same way as they do now.
-
Hehe exactly

It helped me mentally to get things off my mind. -
Someone convinced me I could make money, but didn't say how much or how long it would take.
So I just started blogging about stuff I could share that might help people ....places to find all the answers in one website so to speak. -
I started blogging because of my curiosity about what blog was after I read the introduction about blog in an online newspaper.
And up to now, it has becomed one of my hobbies. I like it and my blog is like an own corner of mine where I can express myself and enjoy whatever I want to share to the community. And through blog, I can also open my mind a lot by joing into the world of bloggers...There are a lot of interesting things for me to enjoy my free time out there... -
The first blog I created, Pulse of My Heart, was started to give my wife's family updates about her medical condition (heart attack, heart failure, listing for transplant, recovery). Since then, it's attracted a broader audience (in part because I have a humor blog that seems to have some spillover traffic). -
It seemed like a fun thing to do. -
I used to write the selected verses of the holy Quran on a white board placed inside our joint room in our house in Lahore. Later, when I came to know that Blogger provides web space, for sharing knowledge I decided to use blogspot as my white board placed on the world wide web. It was a great pleasure for me to see the 1st international reader of my blog.
Now, I have two blogs one of them is a team blog and the other one is my personal blog where I upload a few samples of my nature photography.
Three B.C members have already started to write in my blog. -
to be honest a friend of mine blogs for money..so i thought i'd try it..and now I blog so my opinions can be read and get other peoples opinions..and I really enjoy it now..not just for the money anymore....

I started to write a book but stalled - needed something that would force me to write almost daily, and then I figured a blog and communicating with other bloggers would also keep me going.
and so, my blog is a launchpad for my book, the sexcapades of an accountant (or one of NP's wonderful titles)-
Oh I like that title 'The Sexcapades of an Account"! I wonder what else you have in mind ^_^. NP is wonderful with words and coming up with stuff!

Actually it was a random act I did on a sunny morning in the summer. I still like to blog! I met lovely people in the last couple for months and I've come across a lot of interesting blogs.
Before my blog, I already wrote a bunch of stuff, but blogging makes writing more consistent. -
I’ve been keeping journals and diaries since I was six years old. Blogging is just an extension of this. Besides, it helps me organise my thoughts over a huge range of subjects
