Why do you blog?

Is it for expression? For fame? For sharing information? For career advancement? For income? Personally, I started blogging to record and share my daily happenings as a parent. As I got into it, I learned about the socializing and networking aspect of it (not to mention the monetizing parts as well). My blogging priority is to be able to document memories in the making as well as to exercise creative writing. However, now that my blog has transcended the online diary phase, I also care about hits and traffic, ads and paid posts, etc etc... I also recently tried hosting giveaways. I have an ongoing one right now with 250 custom stickers/labels as the prize (http://spinninglovelydays.blogspot.com/2010/01/uprinting-250-stickerslabels-giveaway.html). It's pretty exciting to run a contest. I can't wait to pick the winner. These are just some of the facets of blogging that I've gotten into. What about the other bloggers here? :)

I just blog when I can. Mostly, I tend to focus on some sports and of course one on gaming with my own personal views. I'm not really sure how I can earn money from my blogs but know how to link my own articles on there when it involves a particular subject. That's about it. If I can figure out how to do that, I can create another streamline of making some money but not sure how to go about it. I guess you could say I do it because I like to write opinions.

I blog to earn money and to enjoy and expression myself of course.

The first time i tried blogging, it is because i want to share all my thought. I want every body to know what i know. At first i write a few of my experience, later on it became many thing. I write story there, i write about money making, and other stuff. But still, the main reason i keep bloggin is that i want to share my experience with every one. Thanks.
