I love blogging and I am pretty active with it. I have been maintaining a blog of some sort for over 6 or so years now. I started off on tblog but i hated the restrictions of their format and then I found blogger ( love this blog format) because it allows me to mess around with the template code completely.
It began as a way for me to keep in touch with 1 particulat friend but then all my far away friends began to read and it sure beats writing a ton of letters to say the same thing.
My LJ blog is the busiest but it's the one I clutter up with meme's and silliness, my recycled crows blog is a tad more serious and less busy, less traffic but I could care less about traffic. I always wrote journals this is just and extension.
The daughter of the empire on is my way of thumbing my nose at Lucas Arts. I publish my star wars novels for free to avoid any litigation, they get read and I get the satisfaction of knowing hell I actually wrote real books from beginning to end with complicated plots and everything, it was and is an interesting experiment.
I write the book I wish I could have bought and read. The blog format makes it easy to publish, even easier to reach large numbers of people ( or not) and it's free ( sweet deal if you ask me)
I also keep and maintain a collective blog for a group of artists who specialize in calligraphy and illumination.

it's very interesting to open up the blog to other contributers and see what happens.
I honestly could care less if people read my blogs but it is nice when they do. I like the connection it gives me to the rest of the world.
