Why blog?

As some of you may already know, I regularly publish my thoughts on usenet newsgroups such as rec.music.christian and alt.music.gospel.southern

I'm also a frequent contributor to the message boards at Sogospelnews.com and I write reviews for their main site as well.

So why blog? Well, aside from the "everyone else is doing it" reason, I like the tidyness of being able to post my own thoughts on a number of topics that interest me. Unlike a newsgroup with no moderating or a message board with moderating by a third party, I can ignore the feedback to my thoughts that I consider to be ludicrous and address the feedback I feel is most relevant and well reasoned.

Another reason is to draw more attention to my website. I offer a number of services, but I don't like to be seen as shamelessly self-promoting on other sites. I feel no such restriction with my own blog, though. Also, my site also includes
a vault full of reviews I've written over the years for various publications. I'd like to think some people can get some value from reviewing those from time to time. If my blog brings readers here who in turn read my reviews, that's personally satisfying to me.

This blog is a trial run, by the way. I plan to try it for a few weeks and then either commit to it fully or forget about it.
