Why We Blog

Why do we as humans feel the need to blog? We blog because we are social creatures, with emotions and needs. We feel a connection to other human beings but sometimes it is hard to communicate with others verbally or even physically. Some people find blogging as the only way they can connect to other people and make friends.

There are five major motivations for blogging. One may blog to document their own life experiences. The blogger may simply want to provide commentary and opinions on products they use. Some bloggers blog to express their deeply felt emotions. Others articulate ideas through writing; this allows the blogger to maintain community forums.

Blogging provides two main benefits to the writer. Blogging provides an audience to shape the writing that goes on. It also is an archive of potential reusable posts. Blogging provides an outlet for expressing a point of view on topics the author considers much more than just chatter. Many bloggers have a code of ethics that dictate what he or she writes. This may include things like: never criticizing family or friends or expressing political views and opinions that are openly inflammatory.

In conclusion, blogging is a form of stress release through writing; as well as, a way people connect to other people. Normal everyday people are the ones who usually blog about everyday things or events in their life.
