Tue, 14 Aug 2007 12:51:36 +0000 http://momgadget.com/five-reasons-to-blog/#comment-1212 I've always enjoyed writing, but I never had the inclination to sit down and pound at a keyboard for hours on end every day for months on end until the end result resembled something salable. Now I just pound on a keyboard for hours on end every day until the end result is posted for free, on the internet. :) My blog is a reflection of what I see in my profession, a cathartic response to the evil in the world. Blogging has been a fantastic learning experience as well, as anything worth doing usually is.

Make money 2. As a web design & writing portfolio 3. To have a voice 4. To learn I haven't made much money or created great design portfolio pieces from my blogs but I do have a voice and I have learned quite a bit since I began blogging. That's 2 out of 4, enough to be pleased for now. I blog to…

I haven’t made much money or created great design portfolio pieces from my blogs but I do have a voice and I have learned quite a bit since I began blogging. That’s 2 out of 4, enough to be pleased for now.

Thankfully the design stayed intact and a couple of the code examples I have written and subsequently blogged about worked nicely. It must have worked too, as I got the job!

I blog to learn, grow, make friends and make $$ too. Never thought the blog can be a ‘resume’ and again, it sounds logical cos my blog is my ‘personal voice’.

The other reasons might be valid for the future. Currently I blog to learn how to blog. The other reasons might be valid for the future.

That's why I get stressed (probably needlessly) if I happen to find a typo. The blogs do work as a portfolio to some extent. This week I got an e-mail from someone who wants me to write web content for her. Yeah! As a writer I don’t think of them as a resume, necessarily, but more as a portfolio.

After reading a couple of good books lately, I'm trying to cut back on being so "wordy" and get to the point in much of what I write that's not so personal. That was my first attempt :) There is a lot to think about.

Only those "niche" blogs I do. Thanks for the reminder. BTW- expect an email today. Lots to think about there, honestly I’d never looked at my personal blog as one. Only those “niche” blogs I do.
