So I see Diane has tagged me with the “5 reasons why I blog” thing, which I hadn’t even known about till reading her post on it!

And dont’ worry Diane, I’m actually fan of target=”_blank” depending on the context

So, here’s my reasons…

1. Because I can.  Using software like Wordpress makes it so easy.
2. To learn what this whole blogging things about.  As a web developer interested in Internet technology, actually having a blog would seem a good way to work out how they work, what they are about etc…
3. I’m quite highly opinionated.  The blogosphere really appeals to those who like to rant.
4. On occasions I feel there are some things I’d like to say that other people are actually interested in, and can maybe learn from.  I’m not a regular blogger, my posting habits vary from 3 months with no posts, to posting most days.  Depending on whether I think of something that I think other people care about.
5. It’s an easy way to power a site that I use as a sandbox to mess around with.  I’m never expecting to get much traffic here, I do next to zero in terms of marketing it, an it literally is a place for me to play around and try things.  I just also happen to post proper content to it as well.

I can’t be arsed tagging anyone else with it, these things tend to linger round like dodgy emails otherwise, so I’ll act as one termination point
