		<description>Interesting - I have just written a blog about my reasons for blogging.
I agree in that all are valid reasons for me to an extent.... There is no single reason why I blog, it is to market myself and my business ideas. It is also a platform to inform friends and relatives and other interested people what I am working on. Ultimately once I have enough readers I hope it will be a way of generating revenue directly and indirectly.</description>

		<description>I started blogging three years ago as an experiment. Soon got to like it and so never stopped.

It&#039;s good I didn&#039;t because blogging turned out to be a good revenue stream as well as a means to get known. 

Ofcourse, there is still a long way for me to go, but I&#039;m enjoying every step of it.</description>

		<description>Michael, that&#039;s a good point about starting a blog for one reason and then evolving into another. I suppose part of the reason for this poll having a fixed number of options is to stimulate some conversation. :)   

Thank you for your kind comments. I really appreciate that you&#039;re taking the time to visit and contribute!!</description>

		<description>It was very hard to pick just one, because obviously a blog serves many purposes. But it will be neat to see the tally after a few days of voting (please post again to remind us). Sometimes the motivation (purpose) for starting a blog ends with a different purpose. We suggest to our customers to create a company or website blog, if anything just to be a natural and easy way to create more content. We find though that once you have a blog and even a few subscribers, that makes you think deeper and more often of what you can blog about, and then even more learning or innovation occurs when you actually craft your post. I love my blogs for that purpose alone.

Keep up the great work Lee!</description>
