Why blog?

Us dogs have been busy and haven't come back, but have tracked some of the other AID blogs - and some people are really getting into it. Someone asked why and I didn't post a comment at the time. There's lots of useful "stuff" out there in the library blogland it seems to me. A few examples? Check out Lorcan Dempsey's blog (http://orweblog.oclc.org/)
or David Lee King whose posts from July 5-12 are worth a read. He asks "Why Learn this Stuff"? (http://www.davidleeking.com/) and answers.

One of the problems, it seems to me, is that it is easy to spend a huge amount of time reading "useful stuff" and bouncing from blog to blog. When does it stop being learning and become indulgent, especially when we have a lot else to do?

OK I’ve been looking that all these blogs and quite frankly I disappointed with the amount of formatting and general design that’s been going on. Background colors borders, shading, links left right and centre! Its making my blog look 2nd rate and I wont stand for IT. I’m moving Up! Changes must be made!
