Blogging Benefits
Blogging on blogging seems so passe. Still, I can’t believe the numerous benefits that blogging has had on my life in the past year. It seems as if posting my personal thoughts and ideas onto the Information Super Highway has been the sole provider of new opportunities for me. Blogging has landed me new clients, opened up new business ventures, helped me find new developers, landed me new jobs, increased my network, discovered new friends, helped me better connect with family and friends, helped me become a better writer, and increased my level of learning. Someday, I’d like to send a fat check to the person credited for inventing the weblog. Either that or give him big hug, lovecat style.
So what good fortunes have blogs brought into your life?

I agree, Blake. Blogging is one of the best things I do, for all those reasons.
I have to point out that your spelling and vocabulary have benefited as well.
Well, it seems I picked up blogging at just the right time. Reading over the templates and slightly changing things around to see what happened helped introduce me to HTML and CSS. Those, in turn, have helped me with my job, where I’m learning the ins and outs of HTML. Also, I have a better understanding of the kind of content people like and respond to on the Web. Part of my job is to create content for UWG’s Web site, so blogging has really helped there.
On a personal note, blogging has helped me fulfill my journal-keeping duties. I think I’ve also made more friends by blogging.
Perhaps it’s a little cheesy and over-the-top, but I’ll say it: blogging has changed my life!
