To vent, and hopefully gain perspective.
To reach others and hear others, on the realities of how life is vs how it was imagined.
Maybe, just maybe, to get myself writing again.

10. To make me realize how I've grown, how much improvement do I need still, and how people can potentially see me through what I write (my level of narcissism is a bit above the normal dose)

My other blog, http://www.hbnw.wordpress.com , is now on the back burner but was a character based vehicle for trying out comedy material.

I reaaly do need a kicking for the novel though... If I finish it, then the blog will have served it's purpose.

However, there'll be a new blog starting soon, and I'll talk about that then. ;)

@mattconlon - your blogs look interesting, but I think you're self-hosted, aren't you? These forums are just for wordpress.com. The two are different.

http://www.Mattconlon.com/ is my personal blog where I post "deep thoughts" sorta stuff, technical solutions I use frequently (so I don't lose them) and memories about my childhood, so that some day my kids can read them, and see who I was, if (god forbid) I am not around... Aside from that, I'm hoping to talk to other bloggers who just like to read about goofy junk. :D

http://www.brewnewb.com is sorta my field notes on becoming a master beer brewer. I'm a LONG way off from that goal, so for now I do a lot of beer reviews, in the hopes that I can bring craft beer into the lives of the folks who think they hate beer, based on big label beer distributors like Budweiser. My goal (ultimately) for this blog is to create a community of home brewers in New England, although I haven't done a whole log to accommodate that... just yet..

I have another blog, but it's anonymous. That blog is to blow off professional steam in an anonymous atmosphere, so that my clients don't know I'm bitching about them! Can't tell you what that site is, but just stay vigilant, I'm sure you'll find it.

The blogs got a few followers other than people who I already knew and it's doing good. I think I've reached my goal for it.
For my blog on skepticism, the goal is to create interesting and mildly informative posts. I get a few comments but the goal is to get more people commenting and sharing their opinions. I want to have more discussions on the blog.

Now it's more sharing information about the place(s) I live in, with up-to-date news, photos, and a personal perspective. But you know that anyway!! I do enjoy publishing news posts before the local media update their on-line pages, I get a competitive kick out of that.

Discussion is key, I really enjoy the comments I get (the old, comments v hits argument). Clouds is about discussion too, but random topics rather than current news. Land Rover blog is about sharing maintenance info - and pix. Dog blog is about writing with a different style, ie anthropomorphism. Not sure I have any goals for the pic blog, more of an outlet for photos with a story attached.

I've said what the blogs are about, but those are also my goals if any, ie why I'm doing it.

I flicked back on some old posts recently and really enjoyed reading them as I'd totally forgotten the stories. Then it truly becomes a web log aka a diary. It wasn't the reason I started it but it is great now to look back.
