Blogging

For years I have always thought about blogging as something a stay at home mom or elderly person does. But since coming to college my eyes have truly been opened. Blogging is becoming more and more popular with each passing year. As a way for people to post about there days all the way up to advise on anything you would need to know. There are literally blogs out there for everyone, there are blogs about cooking, cars, movies anything and everything you would ever want to read about you are able to through blogging.

"A blog is a frequently updated online personal journal or diary. It is a place to express yourself to the world. A place to share your thoughts and your passions. Really, it’s anything you want it to be." Now you might be asking your self why do people even blog? The answer is for someone to voice their opinion. Many people such as you or myself have never been able to talk to a big audience about our day or maybe a hobby we enjoy. Well the internet and blogging allows people to voice there thoughts for hundreds or maybe thousands of people to see what they have to say. There are many benefits to blogging other then reading about someones day or hobby. For many people writing is a form of therapy and it allows people to express there true emotions. Think of a blog as a diary many people use there blog as a way to express there true emotions. These blogs benefit the writer as well as the reader as both of them are struggling. This blog is a life saver and allows so many people the freedom of letting out there emotions. 

For some people a blog is a means of income. When blogging first was created it was full of glorified writers who never made it into the big leagues of writing. Blogging was there chance to be heard again and make a name for them selves. Those bloggers who were excellent writers were slowly hired onto newspaper companies, or were even lucky enough to become a personal author. So the final question is why do people blog? In my opinion it is an escape from the real world, the people who blog seriously this is another world for them. For those couple hours of reading and writing blogs they are free and able to get things off there chest.
