Why Do I Blog

Steve of Alledia.com gave me some homework to do by tagging me to do a “Why Do I Blog” post.

It will be short and simple.

I started out a long time ago Blogging on Blogger.com as it first went into Beta, because I like to try out new stuff on the Internet. (Currently Twitter and its better counter part Jaiku.com)

Then I read a post about the fact that WordPress was such a great Blogging software for SEO Purpose.
So I downloaded, Installed the Software as a sub domain…., did some SEO Stuff to make it even better (couldn't resist :-)) en started Blogging to get my Joomla site up.

And it worked!! But than it hit me….the reason why I am still Blogging…

The real Reasons why I still Blog

It is a great way to share knowledge in a fast way.
It brings you in contact with some great people by letting them comment on you posts.
It is a much faster medium to post to than a standard structured website
People start asking questions that challenges me to find them the right answers, which in turn teaches me how to do things better…

So the main reason for my now is because I like to interact with other people and keep learning and sharing that knowledge again and again in the process, its just like a wheel that keeps spinning and moving forward.

For the rest.. I think Steve has made some clear points why to Blog, that I can related to a well.

Now comes the hard part, because Steve tagged the people I would like to see why they Blog already…
Like Barrie North and Amy Stephen.

So here is my short list:
HarryB of OpensourceCommunity.org because of his Drupal Posts (like to read more)
Casey Lee of Joomlashack because I like to see more posts like this one

And two dutch Bloggers, might be nice…
So the First one is Catharina Bethlehem of www.Kletskous.com
The second one is Karel Geenen from http://www.karelgeenen.nl/

Both are of intrest for the dutch readers that also read my Blog on http://seo-blog.itmentor.nl.

Thanks for the Tag Steve… good to see you as a moderator on the Joomlashack SEO Forum.

Update: To get a Full meme, I am tagging Erno Hannink from http://www.enthousiasmeren.nl/ because of his great work for the Dutch Blogging community.
