I encourage everyone to create a blog, as you can not only write whatever you wish to, but you can also express yourself! Creating a blog is as easy as snapping your fingers. Also, its free! Blogs have helped individuals to come up in life... check this out http://scienceroll.com/2008/11/12/do-you-need-some-reasons-why-to-blog/

In this new age of information technology, not only are blogs used to inform, but to help us network with other like-minded individuals from across the globe. Below are some of the reasons, personal and professional, that should encourage you to start a blog (or continue to update the one you write):

Why blog?

1. Codify Your Thoughts: writing forces you to succinctly, accurately describe your point of view.
Blogs are short form and often contain a single serving of news, opinion, analysis or recommendation.
2. Store resources or information important to you
3. Document your personal experiences or share them with others
4. Network or meet new people
5. Share practical knowledge or skills with others
6. Bolster Your Resume A successful blogger with a considerable readership is a powerful addition to any company,
particularly one who's seeking to build branding over the web.
7. Motivate other people to action
8. Influence the way other people think
