another conversation I had on Friday is recorded by Stephen. Actually, thinking about why we blog is one of those very self-destructive activities. My reasons tend to vary according to my mood and level of sobriety. At the moment I would say that I do it because it’s an interesting record (but why not use a paper diary and keep it to myself?), it allows me to say things having thought them through thoroughly (yes, but do I need a website to do that?), it gives me chance to hone my HTML skills (but do I need this particular variety of content?) and, ok, I’ll admit it, I get a kick out of looking at the counter and seeing that lots of people read what I write. me me me me me!
There are other reasons too, but you’ll have to wait for my mood/level of sobriety to change before I’ll discuss them.
