Probably the biggest reason is that I believe in the sharing of information, and if I can help someone else not have to deal with the same hurdles I did to accomplish something, then I am happy. This is why I try not to blog on articles I have already read, and will usually just post a collection to those links, with an explanation of steps that I used. It also provides a great place to store steps, share with colleagues, answer newsgroup posts that get asked repeatedly so I can just link back, and provide a sort of notebook for myself. <BR/><BR/>The second reason was to get my name out in the field. This has worked out great, as it lead me to several presentations for conferences, and a book deal.<BR/><BR/>The third reason is for networking. I get a kick out of the people I meet through my blog, and the stories they tell. I've gotten good information, feedback on my articles, and great opportunities from just writing my blog.<BR/><BR/>There has been some negative sides to it as well. I have to be careful as to what I post, some of the stuff I do is key to projects, so I try not to post "trade secrets". I have also had to scale back on personal opinions and political stances. Despite that, blogging has been a positive experience for me.John Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741149622435353727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-14402402905786553732008-09-29T10:23:00.000-04:002008-09-29T10:23:00.000-04:00I started my blog because there weren't enough res...I started <A HREF="http://standalone-sysadmin.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">my blog</A> because there weren't enough resources for sysadmins in small organizations, and too often we're expected to "just know" how to do things. <BR/><BR/>I feel like trying to create a place for people to share information is responsible in a world that seems to want to make information private and secretMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471234837140977994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-5929308237919812932008-09-29T10:22:00.000-04:002008-09-29T10:22:00.000-04:00I stopped blogging out of concern that my ideas an...I stopped blogging out of concern that my ideas and comments could be used against my by my company, despite not mentioning them, or anyone I work with. Specifically, my only "best time" to blog was during my lunch hour at work, or at the end of the day at work. <BR/><BR/>I tend to work 10-11 hrs with at least 1+hr commute. Leaves little time at home to blog.<BR/><BR/>How do you address that concern, and do you blog "during work hours"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-61792978827547657582008-09-28T22:38:00.000-04:002008-09-28T22:38:00.000-04:00I saw Andrew Bacevich on Bill Moyers' show.I saw <A HREF="http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/08152008/profile.html" REL="nofollow">Andrew Bacevich on Bill Moyers' show</A>.Richard Bejtlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13512184196416665417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-66178719361752715262008-09-28T21:04:00.000-04:002008-09-28T21:04:00.000-04:00Nobody has asked the obvious question, who was the...Nobody has asked the obvious question, who was the author that you agreed with!? 10 bucks it's Neal Stephenson...if I was that dude, I'd really need a medium in which to organize my thoughts, due to the super-geniosity floating around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-21822481165247309742008-09-28T18:00:00.000-04:002008-09-28T18:00:00.000-04:00You hit pretty much the same reasons I blog as wel...You hit pretty much the same reasons I blog as well.<BR/><BR/>I would flesh out the organization part with what keydet said: It also helps give me a place for notes for future reference.

Rather than simply having a link to something, I could add context to that information, describing what led me to it (something from work, another link, a random thought, etc.), as well as other information. <BR/><BR/>Blogging allows one to build up in intelligence out of information.<BR/><BR/>I don't like to be dry, so self-expression is another factor, although for me, not a reason to blog, per se.<BR/><BR/>Of course, there is always the hope that someone will come along and add comments, suggest something, add their own thoughts and perspectives, etc.H.
