just herewhy blog

I used to blog a lot more than I do now. I was unemployed and had a lot of free time. Now that I have a job and a house and other committments, I had to ask myself why should I continue blogging? Is it worth the time it takes? The answer I came up with was a resounding YES.
Why do I blog? When I first started blogging, I thought it would be great practice for "the real thing" (in other words: publishing). My husband had bugged me for a while about starting a blog; I guess since I'm so opinionated, he thought it would be a good medium for me. Maybe he just thought I'd stop bugging him about all of it ..
Since then, my reasons for blogging have changed a bit. When I realized that people were actually reading what I wrote, and that they found it helpful, I made a conscious attempt to make my blogging more useful. What have I learned and experienced that other people might find useful? What software could I try out that people would find helpful to learn about? It's a great feeling to know that people have gotten something out of my blog. And now I don't see it as preparation for the real thing ..
So the question isn't really why would I want to blog - it's why wouldn't I blog?
