What do you do with your blog?

Published on December 3, 2004 By RoxannMi In Blogging

I want all you bloggers out there to send me a short post on what you do with your blog. Just trying to assimilate information about the general use of blogging. What do you use your blog for?

On this blog site, we argue with each other, support each other, cry with each other, laugh with each other. This site is a community, and if you stick around, you will see that. This isn't an average "my daily journal, with a few pics" blog site.

My blog provides me a place to post news, express feelings, share joy and laughter, learn what others think, and commune with others from all beliefs, races, sexes, and religions.

My blog is a way of reaching out and exhange.

My blog provides a nifty forum for my rabid socialist views and horrid plans to plunge this country into a thousand years of leftist anarchy.

I also sometimes post recipes.

My blog is a way for me to express my utter disgust with the world in general, particularly with myself.

I blog to vent frustration, to indulge my inner pedant, (and to have the chance to trot out words like pedant (and satisfy my craving for parenthetical asides)), and to keep in touch with friends and family (since email is like Kryptonite for me). To no small extent blogging at JU is a way to a bit of ego stroking (via comments), ego deflation (also via comments), and a good excuse to practice that thing I laughingly refer to as a writing style.

Welcome to JU.

P.S. Tack on the occasional flame roasted skewering of moonbats to my list of blogging raison d etre.

I write about whatever random nonsense I feel like writing about on my blog. It's the other peoples blogs that make it interesting

Whatever Danny, your blog makes things interesting too.

Just to write some vague, random bullshit and relax and forget the day's troubles. I've got zero interest in arguments, debates and controversies, I just like the writing. Be cool if any were actually read...

Participating in the debates is a great way to get read on JU

To me, blogging is all about politics right now. I have no interest in putting my life story up on the internet. I am very interested in debating political issues, and if you go to my blog, and see my responses to others' posts, you'll see that I'm a left wing environmentalist who has little patience for social selfishness, racists & xenophobes, tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, and this criminal we have for a president. I care about people, education, clean air, healthy forests, my family, and health care. I fight for social justice, and I get a special kind of thrill

haranging the righties here. I guess that makes me a rabid socialist, too. (waving to myrrander.........)

I blog about anything. I'll be driving and an idea will pop into my head, an old story, a new story, whatever, and I'll actually think, "That'll make a good article." It's sick, I know. This addiction repalced my former Sims and Sims2 addiction. Once I got to know some people that post here, or at least the part that I can see through their blogs, I started reading their stuff on a regular basis and sometime responding. I think I spend as much time, if not more...yeah probably more time...responding to other people's ideas, jokes, games, stories, rants, political commentary and general crap as I do writing my own. I get clued in to news event here, since most people seem to be political and post a lot about that, too.

I blog about politics, law, civil rights, the war, and other current events. My goal is to inform, debate, and hopefully provide a civil forum for people to learn about issues and each other.

That is what I find so cool about blogging even though I am really new to it. It is sort of an online "consciousness raising", right?
