To blog or not to blog?

How many here blog, and how many people actually read your blogs? Are there already too many blogs, or should everyone intelligent enough to want to write have a blog of their own?

What's the best blogging software? What's the best blogging site? Do you blog for yourself or for the potential readers of your blog? Do you get hate mail for your blog? And finally what aspect of the world in general do you blog about, be it politics, entertainment, sports or some other factor of RL?

3. I started a blog a few months ago

but I only wrote two entries and I never gave out the blog address to anyone. I'll probably work on it again some day. I think everyone who wants a blog should have one, but everyone should realize that it is very rare to become as popular as Daily Kos or Truthout.

6. I blog.

I started my blog on May 26, 2004. For some strange reason, I've had
111697 hits (as of today).
My blog was nominated for a Koufax award (most humorous blog-- Jesus' General won, of course).
And now I write the DU Blog Box column (published on the DU homepage every Friday).

You should definitely blog!

And join the DU Bloggers Group!

I use blogger.com. It's free, and it works like MSWord. Uploading pictures is easy, too.

I started blogging because I needed to vent, and I'm not a fan of personal "Dear Diary" maintenance.

I blog mostly about the stupid stuff I see and read.

7. I blog.

Anti-Bush of course. I use livejournal, which works pretty well. I used to be really good about updating, now not so much. I do it mostly for myself, but I get a lot of positive comments too. I've never gotten hate mail. :)
