Why I started blogging

I am interested in finding out why different bloggers started blogging. My original reason for starting a blog was so different from the reason I am doing it now.

I didn't really know anything about blogging, and the only one I had read was one that was created by people in my church to keep everyone updated on a boy who had been in a very serious accident. Other than that, I'd had no exposure to blogging.

Early one Saturday morning I was watching the Today Show, and someone was talking about different ways to earn money on the internet. They told about Payperpost.com where you can blog about different products, services, etc., and get paid for it. I thought that would be an easy way to make a little extra money since I love doing internet stuff anyway. So, that was my reason (at that time) for creating Kathy's Klavier. But after looking around and searching for other blogs to read to learn more about blogging, I became so interested in some of the good ones I found that I kept going back each day to read more. I decided to get mine established by just writing about things in my life and then I would try the payperpost thing. Well, after about two months of blogging, I've sort of forgotten my original reason of wanting to make money because I've met such wonderful bloggers whose blogs I look forward to reading each day. And what amazes me even more is that there are actually a couple of people out there who look forward to reading mine! Thanks to my new blog friends for your writings and your encourgements. And thanks to those who read mine.

What was your reason for starting a blog?
