Tagged Again

by JM

Ah, more tags. There certainly seem to be a lot of them floating around lately. Today I get to talk about five reasons I love blogging. So here goes.

1. I like getting to know people I wouldn’t otherwise get to know if not for the common thread of my blog subject.

2. I like the sense of community you get after exchanging a few links, making a few comments, etc.

3. Writing is what I love to do, so blogging is a natural part of that. Whether I’m writing in my personal blog, weight loss blog, or here, I’m doing what I like to do and also giving people information at the same time.

4. The sex. Kidding. As far as personal blogging goes, I like it because I often get anti-social. People in my life tend to feel a little bit better when they know what’s going on with it, so personal blogging allows me to do that without having to open my mouth or pick up the bane of my existence - the telephone.

5. Blogging, in more than just a personal blog, is actually doing something meaningful online instead of getting the next high score on Bejeweled.

And now I get to tag five people.
