I was tagged by Janice to take part in this meme called Why I Blog? I put up this WaterLearner's blog only in April this year. My original intention of blogging was actually to sort my chaotic thoughts in chronological order. More like a tool for my inner reflection. It was totally beyond my imagination that I could meet and know some really great people in the blogosphere. I am glad I now have a regular group of visitors to my humble site. To share my laughter and sorrows and read my idle thoughts. To this group of great, fantastic people, I give my thanks and may our friendship last!
*
Now I would like to invite these fantastic bloggers to do the same:
*
**Start Copy Here**
*
We have a voice;
We must be heard;
Therefore we blog;
Now spread the word!
*
This meme is based on a recent post that was conducted asking the question “Why do you Blog?” and the rewrite “Why do you Blog? - Reworked.”
*
The purpose of this meme is to tell our tales by spreading the reasons that we blog to as many sites as possible. We get to explain ourselves, direct traffic to our site and highlight our most important, most representative or most relevant post in an SEO favorable format. This will be a positive experience for everyone who wants to get involved. This will enable you to create a short advertisement for your site that will be spread across the blogesphere; a growing directory of blogs.This is an open meme. You do not have to be tagged to join in. All you have to do is follow the rules.Please let me know when you have added your site by leaving a comment on “Complete List” with a link to your post. This will insure an up-to-date list, giving you even greater distribution. You then have the option of copying the growing list back to your site.
*
Rules:
Create an inventive post title
*
Write a brief introduction to the meme.
Copy from “**Start Copy Here**” through “**End Copy Here**”
Paste into your postAt the end of the “*list*”, before “**End copy here**”, please add your name, site name (with link), a very brief description (2-3 sentences) of why you blog, and your most important, most representative, or most relevant post (with link.)Tag at least 5 others to participate.Leave a comment and a link to your post on “Complete List”

Mostly I blog because I'm firmly convinced I've figured a few things out and that the world will benefit from my experience the same way I've benefited from others' experiences. One post that I feel captures my emotional involvement and my ire (but not my humor as much) is Decision time.
*

*

*
My name is Sandee and I have a blog called Comedy Plus. My blog is just for fun, and I started it to poke fun about everyday life. My reason for blogging is to have fun and meet new friends.

*
Here I am :-) My name is Mauro and I'm the author of 1 Million Love Messages ... maybe the biggest love challenge in the blogosphere. Why I blog ???

I started blogging in an attempt to get people thinking, using my cynical humour as a tool to make people laugh, think and at times get the blood pumping.... Each of my Blogs takes in a little peice of my varied personality but the one which discribes me best would have to be There is Always a Natural Way the latest edition to the Aussie Cynic Family...

that's a long list of good reason to blog! good job!
and it's a lovely Saturday! And so I've tagged u on the 38 questions! :D
Hav a fabulous weekend ya! :D
http://www.liferollercoaster.com/index.php/2007/10/20/the-38-questions/
You have been added to the master list. Thanks for participating.
Now be sure to make regular visits back and copy/paste the entire list to your site. That is what will keep this list growing and bring benefit to everyone who participates. Plus you will always have a current directory on your site for reader reference and to visit new sites yourself.
I am looking for a never ending run on this directory. The best way to display the directory on your site is to archive the list and have a button (with link) or just a link on your sidebar that links to YOUR copy of the List. You may want to take a look at my site, upper right; I have a button that links to my Master list. You can take this code and install the button on your site, but it will link to my Master List.
Again I strongly suggest regular visits and copy/paste the list to your site, archive it, and have a link to it on your side bar.
Please let me know if you have any questions on this or on how to create a button.
Again, thanks for participating.
Hi Karen, I'm finally here! Have added u to my list.
And hey, thanks so much for featuring me in ur slide show! I love my bar n grill LOL!! Love ya! :):):)
Yo Franx..
Really have not seen you for quite some time. Busy huh? Hope to see you around more often.
Blessings
CBenc!!
Thanks for tagging me for the 38things. I am honoured!!
How's your weekend so far?
Hi Monday Morning Power!
Indeed, I will check out your good blog periodically to get the most updated list of links.
Thanks for starting something so nice.
Blessings to you!!
Hi Karen,
Love your slide! You are really very creative. Thanks for featuring me in the slide show.
Blessings to you, Karen.
Let's Acquire Wisdom and Live with Passion
Hi Hi Sam, my fav blog buddy!
How lacking my slide would be if your good name have been absent. I chose the eagle's determined gaze to go with your neon sign to show the determination in you to do your share of bringing goodness to mankind through your good blog.
Blessing! Hope your vacation have been fun. You have been badly missed.
Heya Karen, not sure if you remember me. I think we chatted a few times on StumbleUpon or My Blog Log, or something.
Either way, great blog! I see your site on the Blog Rush widget a few times, but each time instead of showing the title of your latest post, it shows an error message from FeedMedic. So I can't get to ur blog from the Blogrush widget. Just thought I'd let you know, maybe you could look into it?
Cheers, keep up the good work.
