I often say this: Sometimes people write to teach and explain. Other times they write in order to understand. Blogs written with the latter purpose have a different feel from blogs written with the former. Deciding which you want is one of the first points on the decision tree for establishing your blog. An interesting quaere regarding blogs is whether having at least *some* audience a sine quo non for a blogger. Otherwise wouldn't she be merely a diarist? And you Suw ... when you blog, just how conscious *are* you of your audience? Or for that matter, when you *don't* blog how conscious of them? Does having an audience affect your day life? Cheers, huw
