Blog post about Blogging

Well, frankly, I sometimes wonder why there are so many blogs and what people use them for. Do people just post whatever they like on the internet and hope that someone will read it? Do people use blogs as a diary of sorts that anyone in the world can read? Why would anyone do that? I may be in the minority when it comes to this view on blogging, but I simply do not see the appeal of it. I guess it's useful for situations like this, for educational purposes but I'm pretty sure that blogs were not created originally for that purpose. Dispite all that, I can see that this will probably be somewhat useful for CW work and the like.
