What good is a blog?
Author: Steve Martin
I must admit that I never really saw the need for a blog in the past until I had my own. My wife was the same way. Why would she want to write a blog? It’s not like we believe ourselves to be great writers or anything and who would want to read our blogs anyway? To me, it is a way to write down helpful tips or fun memories. My wife loves to be able to record her memories and place them with some pictures. She always just figured “Oh, I’ll remember that”. Well, as much as we hate to admit it, we forget things all the time. Memories that we had of Abby, our oldest, have been forgotten and since we never wrote them down, we may never remember them. So, if for no other reason than keeping a record of our memories, I would encourage everyone to have a blog. You don’t necessarily have to make it public but it is a much easier way to share your thoughts and memories than keeping a written journal. There are many free online blogging sites such as http://www.wordpress.com and http://www.blogger.com. It’s easier than you may think to get started. You could be blogging in less than 5 minutes. Check it out.
