		<description>Comments are a cool part of blogging for sure.

I&#039;m thinking of setting up an anonymous blog for similar reasons Kai. Not for anything sinister, but just so I can vent unrestrained when the need takes me!</description>

		<description>Many of my reasons are much the same as yours.  I&#039;ve always kept journals, and am a much faster typer than writer, so blogging just made sense.

Having said that, I censor much of what I write - I have to be careful because of my husband&#039;s job etc.

I&#039;m a comment junkie too - I love to hear what others have to say.</description>

		<description>Blog to make people laugh ... that&#039;s the primary reason at least.  Sometimes they laugh at how dumb I can be (like with today&#039;s original video), but hey ... laughter is laughter, right?</description>

		<description>I blog at BAYB to help everyone I guess. All my website ideas and whatnot have been to try to help others along. In doing that I am helping BAYB. I blog I guess, for goals as well too. I have such big ideas, dreams and plans I hope to accomplish through blogging.</description>

		<description>I think I blog because I love the sense of community.  I have never felt it impersonal to speak via the &#039;net... I was on parenting forums before and enjoyed that and find the blogging adds extra depth.
I too am enjoying the education about html and so on.  Not to mention reading up on all the monetary opportunities.. I research this not out of greed but interest...the blogosphere and net is always changing and evolving.

I am also always still totally tickled when someone comments on what I post.

I think it harkens back to my insecurities in school...I remember in university being so blown away that people listened to what I had to say on a subject.  It was and still is a great confidence booster.</description>
