Why Am I Blogging?

This is my existential pondering for today. 

I’m someone that needs time to really process new information regarding this virtual world of the Internet.  I’ve heard about blogging for a few years now, even though it’s been going on even longer than that.  I tend to approach things like this that are new to me with caution and a little skepticism.

But lately, for whatever reason – maybe I’ve caught some kind of bug – I’ve been drawn to do the blogging.  That explains these new blogs on my site.  I’ve realized that aside from just kicking out the work for my clients, I really have an interest in what I’m doing and I enjoy thinking about the possibilities and talking about what’s effective – for me and the people I’m helping to achieve their goals.

So, I’m really standing back and opening up to possibility of blogging.  Turns out that, even though it started out as a tool for on-line personal journaling and sharing this writing, it has become a pretty popular tool for bringing people to your website and engaging them in your business, or at least your interests as relate to your business.  A big part of the reason it attracts is that it is one of the key ways that gets the attention of the search engines.

Since I’ve started having blogging on the mind, and I’ve just jumped right in to start practicing it, I thought I would avail myself of some experienced advice on the subject.  So far I’ve found a book I really like – The IT Girl’s Guide to Blogging with Moxie – it’s so friendly and fun to read – no matter what your level of knowledge with the Internet is.  They explain terminology so well, that you can learn a lot about the Internet in general.

So, I think I will continue to explore the blogging ritual for a while.  So far it’s been fun and a great way to organized my thoughts and experiences with my business and my related interests.

But now – back to work!
