Why am I blogging?

I don’t have to explained the defination of “Blogging” in this posts since everything can be read on Wikipedia right? It is a good source of information. Ok, lets back to the post title, why am I blogging? I’ve started to blog in the end of year 2007 mostly influenced by some of my internet friends. I was a total noobies in blogging that time. Haha.

So, why am I blogging? As most of blogger, I blog to express my thought and feel about certain things. Should I agree that blogging is a movement that fill up the internet with a lot of things. Some may think it useless, some may take an advantage from it.

Just like a lot of people, I’ve started blogging using free blog platform such as blogspot and wordpress. Until on August 2008, I have managed to get my own domain name and hosting. The blog is still alive, but have not been updated for such a long period. But nevermind, that was a started for me to learn a lot of things about blogging from head to toe.

One of the advantages that I got from blogging is, I have mastered a lot of weird internet language such as html, css & php.

I really enjoyed using wordpress blog platform for over two years and learn a lot about it from managing the CMS to built the theme and so on. This also have developed me some talent that most of people around me in daily life does not have one. Haha.

Apart from that, I learn a proper way to socializing with people around the internet. To be true, I have found a lot of awesome people from the internet and most of them through blogging. I’ve met some of them in real life. I wish that I have more geeky friends that know stuff that I am doing. Haha.

Blogging also teach me to love and hunger for new information. I have being an information seeker since I started to blog. I really read a lot everyday from anything that related or other things. This also make me believe the quote, “Readers are Leaders” or the Bahasa Melayu one which in school we called it “Projek NILAM” which means “Nadi Ilmu Adalah Membaca”. And I learn to type faster too. Haha.

And the most important things that make me blogging is, I can share and help others people. One of my earliest blog has shown me that helping to solve other people problem is cool. You will feel so great when there are people commented on your post with, “Thanks for the tutorial dude!”, “This post is awesome!”, “OMG! you are a life saver!”, “Hey, nice information!” and more since there are people that appreciate your works.

And this is the reason why I won’t stop blogging and help other people to reach what they need. Just like what AskSaiful say, “devoting your life to a purpose higher than yourself.”
