Here's why some people blog:

*Keep an online diary of their daily activities. If you like to keep a regular journal, blogging is definitely for you.
*A blog can be kept so that all your friends can know what's going on with you, rather than writing to each friend everything that is happening. Saves time - just point them all to the one blog entry.
*Blogs are great for archiving for yourself. You find an article on the internet you want to keep. Copy it to your blog. Come back to it whenever you want
*Some blogs offer communites, and some people do like to read others' daily drivel, believe it or not, especially if the two people have the same interests.
*If you love writing or are creative, blogs are a creative outlet.
*Blogs can be topic-specific, and if you have any expertise in your topic, or keep your blog updated well, you'll build a nice reader base.
*Business blogs - for keeping customers up-to-date with new happenings. If you don't run a blog for your business now, you're kind of behind the loop.
*There's some personal recognition by keeping a blog, and that can be satisfying and rewarding, if only on a personal level.
