I am sure my comments below are going to offend someone out there but hey my co-blog, my right to say how I feel.  I have a blog that I absolutely adore. I got a lot of PSP goodies from her and then I noticed she just stopped posting. So I wrote her and said “Hey, I love your stuff! Why did you stop?” She informed me that no one was commenting or downloading her stuff so why bother? It is funny how her words set off a chain reaction in me. Suddenly I was looking at my other blog, looking at my downloads, my comments, etc. and then I suddenly thought “Why bother?”  I stopped blogging for a while and then felt the urge to write a tutorial so I did and then I realized I blogged and did the stuff on my blog because I liked to, not because someone else liked it.

I have been watching blogs for a long time now and I have seen so many popularity contests or someone blogging because they want attention. Is this really the right reason to blog? Are we in high school here? If your blog has 200 followers does that make you popular? Maybe, but does it mean you are better than anyone else, ummm no J Sorry, just the truth.

While thinking about all of this it brought me to one of my favorite blogs, Gigabiting. If you go there you will notice that this blog is well over a year old, the poster(s) post consistently and if you look closely you will notice no comments, not likes and a few tweets/stumbles. . However, there are always new and informative posts which make you ask why? Is anyone reading? Why are they doing it if they are not being recognized? Simple, because they are one of the few bloggers that blog because they want to and not because they want attention or to be popular. To me that is worth more than all the content in the blog. Kudos Gigabiting and kudos to all those little blogs that are loved because the blogger just wants to blog :D
