answer:I started a blog about 2 years ago. I have updated maybe 10 times. I find it really hard to come up with enough to say to put in a post, without it sounding like a diary. I was never one to keep a journal or anything like that. A good solution for me is twitter. Short thoughts and observations are much easier for me to put out there. I almost never use the allotted 140 characters. I also post my photos to flickr. I don’t know if that counts as blogging. I am more of a visual person and say things through my photos rather than my words. For me, micro-blogging and photo-blogging are therapeutic in the sense that we all have something to say, and it is so easy to do it without pressure from others. You don’t really know who will read or see what you put out there, so it is safer than saying those things out loud to the people you know and see on a daily basis. Someone is reading it. I read blogs all the time, and follow tweets. It is a large part of my day. As far as commercial bloggers, I read an article a while back that said it is one of the most stressful jobs out there. They are pressured to be the first to post the latest news. This isn’t it, but it’s basically the same idea. I know I wouldn’t want to be a pro blogger.
