I started my blog about a year ago inspired by my wife. At first I thought that it was just a waste of time but not now. I really have my own schedule on it and keeps it updated. I also particiapted in some comment exchange not only to increase my traffic but to learn from others.
Blogging has done many things to me. One of them in my grammar improvement, which I hope it was really improving. I am not a native English so it really needs to study and learn grammars. Also, blogging also helps me relieve some stress at work. When I feel stressed, I just took a short visit on my blog and read some comments.
How about you other mylotters with blog/s, would you share your experience what are some of the effects of blogging to you?
good day!

hi there asdomencil,
writing a blog means a lot to me now. although before, i just take and consider it as a way to express myself. but now, a completely different since i look at it as my way to earn more. i learned a lot through blogging. aside from the learning, i have also gained more earnings. hence this way of creative writing really gives me a different opportunity.

hello there,
i do hope you can develop more your blog and find more opportunities where you can utilize more earnings as well. well, my blog is not really that old as compare to what you have, as it just turned 1 year last may 2011. and i guess, i need to do more research to get more ways to have extra income. anyway, i am hoping that i can really generate more and more as days passes by.

At first you will really consider blogging as a way of expressing your self thru writing and sharing to others your thoughts. Now that you really see the essence of blogging that it is not just writign but can be a source of passive income.You are right, there are also other opportunities you can have thru blogging. My blog is just turning 1 year this december and hope I can have fully utilize it in other ways.

Blogging to me is my past time when I feel bored, I love reading blogs about anything I read online but this was change when I started to post pictures to share for my family which we are very far from each other. i misses them a lot and so they are, so through photo blogging they can see me just even only at my online photo blog..

That was another good thing you can get from blogging. Like mine, I also used my blog to post my captured moments. I am an aspiring photographer so I tried to post those I got using digicam.

Right, before I really don't know how to make the layouts and other designs, but now I am quite knowledgeable about this one.
Like you, I really learned a lot from other bloggers which I joined for comment exchange. From parenting to personal life.

How many times I planned making my own website or blogging. Lots of my friends do blogging I only read and sometimes comment, I see it's fun and knowledgeable too. Maybe I need more grammar and more reading first because my grammar is not yet perfect. More research too.
For me having blogs helps you escape from the stressful world. Talking to friends on your blogs also refills your emptiness.

You are right that you need to have practice in grammar especially when you wish to make your blog in full english. Sometimes, you need more readings to gain knowledge on a certain topic you want to post.
Like what you said, sometimes blogging is one of my stress reliever.

I have not done blogging in my life. I know i may sound so dumb..hahah 
.I have not tried it cos i always thought it was a waste of time i can't waste any time. I love mylotting because it is worth the writing since we get paid for it. My english has improved a lot with this and I am satisfied. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

At first it was really a waste of time since you really need to have the layout. However, there are already prepared templates that you can apply to your blog immediately.
you are right, mylot is still good because you really earn from this one. Blogging also help me earn thru the adds that comes to my blog. The minimum payout is quite high but good enough for me.
Just like yours, my english too seems to be improved not only thru blogging but here in mylot too.

you are really fortunate. i started my blog just for the passion of writing. it delved into other passions. i have not succeeded in monetizing it. i keep wondering what is holding me back. money concerns must be uppermost on my mind. i wish i was as fortunate as you are, asdomencil.

I also started blogging this year but most of the things i put there are about the books i have read. It has become a way for me to express what i feel about a character, about the things i read and what i like about them and how i relate to them. It has become my diary of thoughts.. as in the family no one is into books, my husband does not like books too which is sad.. so blogging about it helped me, it has become therapeutic for me actually.
as for my english, it helped too, i was able to learn new words and how to write well too..though it is still not perfect

Same here, my English seems to improve as I go along, just like what you said it is not that perfect. hehehe
Good thing that you share the book you read. It is somewhat like a review on that book which helps other bookworms to have a summary and will get interest and buy that book.

I think the influence of blog to me is I can share what I do and what I feel,and I can know about some of my friends of relatives what they do and what they feel.The most important thing is that now we are all busy and we do not live together just as the school days,so without the blog we can not know the current situations of my friends or relatives who do not live nearby with you,blog can not put our body all together but can put our heart together,so blog is somewhere we can feel warming.

Sure as long as I could. However, on my layouts, i just request it to my wife since she has more exposure on blogging than I. She used to make my template and initial layout. There are also some sites that can help you understand amd make your blog better.

Yes you can use your blog not only in recording your daily living but sharing your own idea to others. Like mine, I used to join comment exchage not only to increase traffic but to share my thoughts anf get ideas from others.

That is one thing to be careful in having a blog, privacy. One way to avoid problems with this one is to keep on thinking what are really need to write on blog since you are posting in a public means, the internet where everyone can have an access. Just be cautious about writing.

So your blog is much of a personal one. Like what you said blogs can be used as a form of diary too. However, you really need to be cautious about the privacy if you don't want to share them to others.
