I love blogging

I’ve been blogging for many years now, but to be honest I am no where near being a problogger. I wrote articles and posted them on this site where only those where were members would see it and sometimes comment on them. It wasn’t until I wrote some controversial article on any topic (gaming, politics, electronics or even religious) that i would get more than 4 or 5 comments and replying back would surely get me a few more, especially from those who replied just to contradict anything I said because they already had an opposing mentality with me.

After several years of blogging!

But after several years of blogging, more of a commentator than a writer, I still have the desire to keep blogging. But”¦ why do I blog? From what I have seen thru out the years there are many kinds of reasons for people to blog. Some blog because it’s something to do during off time of downtime at work; some blog because they like arguing and debating; others blog because they like to speak their minds and recently I learned that some blog because it’s another source of income, in other words they can make money off of simply writing what ever comes to mind on any topic of their choice.

I blog for several reasons

Me? I blog for several reasons. For one thing I blog because it’s fun. Although I have never been much of a reader, I enjoy reader what other people have to say. Even though bloggers can and do put a twist of their own in their blogs on any topic, I am more likely to listen to what they have to say than the Media who is more concerned with writing what they think people want to hear than providing real, complete and unedited stories. I also like to blog because I talk a lot. I mean I talk “a lot”. In high school I was called “motormouth“ (I’ve got my yearbook to prove it) and I was nominated for “class clown” and “class chatterbox” for my Senior Year. Sadly enough I didn’t win (well, in a way it was sad, I think); not surprised though as I was only in that school for 1 year so most of my class never got a chance to truly see just how much of a “motormouth” I really was. I would have won both nominations hands down. This is where I get my online name Chatterbox Chuck. Another reason I like to blog is because I want to voice my concerns about everyday life. Politics, current events, family, even technology. All these topics eventually yield issues that sometimes greatly concern me and as a person with the God Given freedom to speak my mind (at least that’s what the Constitution of these United States say) I feel it’s my responsibility to say something about these issues in the hopes that, at least, my words can make a difference and when ever possible I’ll take action as well.

Why blogging is fun?!

But while blogging is fun, a great place for a “motormouth” and the best place to voice my concerns; the biggest reason for blogging to me is that not only can I help educate people but I also get educated in the process. It’s been my belief that the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were created with the intention of giving every citizen of this nation a place to live freely, a chance to live the American Dream, the ability to improve our culture, but most of all to have a Gov’t that, while responsible for safety, security and public services for the American people, was “of the people, by the people, for the people“. But we live in times where people are not fully educated in our history and our rights and I simply want to do my part to help educate people on the basics and in the process learn things I did not know before.

Another reason why I blog

As I mentioned before, I recently learned that blogging can also be a source of income. Considering things are difficult these days, only a fool would pass up the possibility of getting paid to do something you like to do, something that’s actually fun and something where you can be your own boss. So I can accept that this would be yet another reason why I blog; although I have yet to venture in making money on my blog, I eventually will.

This is why I blog. Why do you?

    I blog to share my knowledge and to learn from others. I try to avoid cramming my viewpoint down anyone’s throat, although I am sure I do at times. I learn more when I share and listen, though.

  8. I too, have been blogging for many years and am nowhere near a “professional” blogger. I think part of that may be my refusal to “pick a niche”. I didn’t start blogging to do it professionally, I did it because I’m a writer. Good writer, bad writer, who knows? But I can’t not write. When this medium came along, I was drawn to it immediately and all these years later, I’m still here. Because, very simply, I love it.

  9. i writing a new blog and language on my blog is vietnam. it is not widely known, but it is my pleasure.

  10. I blog to share what I learn on design, at the same time, the earn a little from it.

  11. I started out blogging to let my family and friends know where I am and what I’m doing. (I’m on an open-ended backpacking trip around the world.) I’ve started enjoying it even more lately because I’ve met some wonderful travellers though it. Getting feedback and advice from the readers has been very helpful.

  12. Blogging is fun! What’s even more fun is the opportunity to say something good about things you like, and rant and rave about things you don’t.
    Going into it for the money will lead to disappointment for most. There are so many already out there looking for a buck, that a newbie will have a tough time.

  14. I love your motivation, the ideas you’re working from are honest and sound. you have to be one of the only bloggers I’ve come across who openly admits he’s blogging with the intention to learn.
    I have to say It’s how I got into blogging, I’m not so interested in spreading an opinion as I am to learn from others.

    I have just starting in blogging. I will be doing it for fame and glory… NO. just screwing with you. I started writing content on other sites, and saw the potential for earning. I have just started my own site, and static content is difficult when you have no juice. Since I had my site set up with WordPress, I figured what the heck, I’ll give this blogging thing a shot. I plan on keeping it in line with what I am most opinionated about, mostly for ease of writing.
