I'm still relatively new to blogging, but I can't believe how many people are doing it. What an amazing outlet for writers.
What's cool about it is we get to rant, or praise, or just plain write a detailed account of our day to day activities. "Fed the cat, took a shower, went to work, came home, did the dishes, fed the cat again, then went to bed." I can't believe people are reading this stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not putting it down. I think it's great. If nothing else comes of it, we get to practice writing. And one of the best pieces of advice I've ever heard given to someone who asked, "how do I become a writer?" was "write!"
