Now it is 3rd month since I start blogging in August. I created account on blogger in July, but confused and wondered about blogging. I was looking around in blogosphere, visiting friends’ site and asking myself “How” and “Why” are they doing this. May be, at that time I am lame and too shy to do so, expressing myself, writing something online, making it public. So, I was editing my template and just playing with sidebar gadgets. Well now, I truely thanks to my good friend Minn Myat Soe who encouraged me to start whatever on this very own weblog.
After awhile, I started writing about something caught up in my head, some interests, and some stories. But, still no particular goal and, sometime ask myself why I am doing this. Importantly, I was confused about meaning of blogging and searching what I'm standing for. Is it a daily diary? Web journal? Whatever, it seem like a log to me and surely it is as word "blog" is derived from Web Log. So, I wrote a log whatever I want to remember or what I found out interesting. Then, I see some reasons why I am blogging.
- Self esteem: most of the time I fear to express what I think or to say something. For now as a blog writer, can’t avoid this, so is force me to do but in appropriate ways. And as an accomplishment I see myself capable and eager to do more. It is become satisfaction.
- Further learning: to write something, especially for some reviews or tech news, I need references, sources and knowledge. So, I have to search, explore, and read more to find related resources for my choice of interests.
- Improving writing skill: to write, express in any language, skill and vocabulary is required for clear, attractive, and worth-reading post. I’m not a good writer, but that kidda must-do thought make me care to check and improve my spelling, grammar and writing style.
- Focusing on something: when time before I blog, most of my spare time are gone with playing games, and become addict. It is bad for my eyes and health, now I can control myself and drive me to interest in technical things and news. So, it is good for health and brain.
- Things to be remember: Sometime I see some interesting news or articles while browsing, or heard from somewhere, I never take note and then forget. Now, I have to take notes as some to write in my blog. So, I remember.
- Happy playing with gadgets: I love playing with gadgets on my sidebar, I love arranging things and I love to make my template look good. So, I happy finding gadgets, tweaking CSS, and making some graphic.
Well, I feel good knowing myself and what I am doing clearly. Now, I am happy blogging!

I'm glad you're happy blogging :)
I still don't have any idea why I'm writing my blog. I guess it is time to think about it. But I am still happy even when no one is reading my blog.
Is the blog for the blogger or readers?
Cheers!
Some say "for friends", some are for "family", so as mostly "blogger self". There are some who wrote for targeted readers. So, it is hard to say.
As for me, I do this for self satisfaction, ovibously you can see my reasons. But whatever, it is like layers of onion, right? I consider audience while I am doing for myself. I am sharing knowledge making my finding or reading public, I am entertaining by writing story or daily diary making my feeling public. So, at the same time, both can be done, "for self" and "for reader".
And, how can you say you have no reader, I think blogger are on a stage surrounding by invisible audiences, they see you, you don't see them. They read, atleast they took a glance even they didn't comment, right?
Yeah, somtimes we forgot a lot of things that we found from books or internet. So we need to write notes. We are using books to write notes in past years. Today, we're using computers and can access from anywhere. So we need to write notes using both computer and internet. One thing is blogging and another one is tagging. I don't want to explain blogging and tagging. Coz you've already know about that. And I know that blogging is become popular in past 2 years and still become more popular again. Coz we love to write/blog.
I'm just newbie
About what, when the connection is lagging? He He :)
Mg Yoe!
I subscribe to your blog because you post about interesting web tools. Although I have yet to use any on my own blog, I intend to do so.
Your hit tracker indicates that you get visitors from across the globe... consider posting about your own country every once in a while. Not many people know about Myanmar. I'm sure people would find it interesting to learn more about your culture.
Connection is important. and your point of view "invisible" visitors, i like that your opinion. cheers!
p.s: [yesterday, i forgot to write]
Thanks Emeriol, I really appreciate your comment. I always wanted and intended to post something about myanmar culture. But still, I afraid that I am not a good writer and somethime I used wrong spelling and grammer. And even more harder to choose what to post. If I take wrong, post will come up with lots of misunderstanding. However, I will try to post some in future. Anyway, there is a blog about Myanmar Culture, you can check it out, but surely not mine :P
