thank you for this post. i agree with the reason # 2 and 3 so much. having my voice to the world and learning new things are great. i feel the same beneficial effect by becoming a reader of many blogs too.

it’s true – learning new things was probably the primary reason my interests were sparked by blogging. Then it became about community – I wanted to add to the community I had only been a spectator in to begin with. Though I keep my blog less personal than some – many of my readers are people I will probably never meet anyway. In the beginning it made it easier to be open and honest and not worry about what people in my real day to day life will think.

That being said, where I am with blogging now is a little different. I would love to meet more fellow bloggers & readers!

I’ve literally only just joined the blogging band wagon,
for me personally it’s being able to have a voice and get your opinion out there.
For a while i’ve watched other blogs with awe and have gained so much inspiration, I love how much I learn from others.
I’ve been given so much more confidence to just wear whatever I feel like wearing, after all fashion is about expression.

Oh yes, these are definitely the reasons that I blog. You nailed it! Self confidence is the other big one for me. Since I feel that lovely obligation to post new and fresh outfits on the blog I take the effort to get dressed up each day and I feel so much better about myself when I like what I am wearing out in the world.

Agree with the reasons above except I do not blog anonymously.. Blogging is super fun I get to “meet” people who have the same interests as me, who loves fashion as much as I do. I get to say whatever I want and express my take on the fashion..Plus I get a little practice on my non-existent writing skills haha

So true! I have loved and enjoyed being anonymous and blogging about my life. It fun to keep a secret

This is such a true post! It has really turned into a money making gimick for so many people out there. I agree with what you said above-and those are still the reasons I blog-and why I truly love it!

I definitely agree with most of the above. The community aspect of it is really wonderful; and I really do feel like I am learning through glimpses or slices of other bloggers’ lives. It is a dialogue of ideas and as my own taste evolves, I find that blogging and reading other people’s blogs gives me insight into what other people are embracing as well. As a freelance writer for print, you don’t get that instant feedback and/or gratification that you get by posting something and then being able to know that someone out there is actually reading your words!

Aww thanks for this lovely reminder of the joys of blogging. I know I’ve connected with some great individuals whom I would’ve never met if not for the online community.

For me community and the doors that have opened because of blogging are the greatest. I’ve gotten internships, am revamping my career and have meet some of the most talented people ever all because of blogging… pretty effing cool if you ask me.
