I have a blog. It's a solitary affair. I post about things I do, mostly DIY projects and the vegetable garden out back or some times just things that irk me. I have to admit, I let my blog languish and I allow months to go by without updating. To be honest, I'm a little unclear on the point of blogging. I do it I guess to share a philosophy, and to share some things outside the mainstream, but few people read it. That's ok with me.
This communal blogging thing though... this should be interesting. Who knows, maybe after doing this for a while my own personal blog will get some attention.
I find that just the act of composing thoughts in a public arena (regardless of whether or not those thoughts are ever encountered by others) is a completely cathartic experience. It affirms that you do have thoughts, knowledge, and opinions and that they are of value--they have meaning.
