I read through Megan Reardon's interview on why and what she blogs. I must say.. her viewpoint on blogging is much like my own. She is intrigued by the blogging process as it almost like reading someone's personal diary. Who doesn't want to know the secret thoughts of another person? It's hard enough to get to know people as it is.. if they take their thoughts, put them into words, and post them for you to read at will...it makes getting to know a person much easier.
One thing that I found rather interesting about Megan's interview was that she is not an obsessed blogger. While her blog is, evidently, wildly popular with some people, she is not addicted to the game. She blogs about things that interest her. She blogs about things she wants to remember. The funny part is... she started blogging to save space on her refrigerator.
She blogs about knitting. She blogs about baking. She blogs about what is going on in her head. She does not worry about posting too much of her personal life, so she does not have to worry about upsetting any readers. She keeps relationships with her readers by answering any questions that are sent to her. She keeps her blogs simple, honest, and to-the-point.
With all of the updated technology and new & improved ways to blog.. Megan keeps it simple. Today she blogs in the same way, in the same format, as she did the day she started. Simplicity is her style, and it works for her.
