FINE TUNED STRINGS thoughts. ramblings.

Why blog? Why even bother?

Here’s one of my favorite quotes  that sums it up:

“If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write things worth reading or do things worth writing ” Benjamin Franklin

So here are some simple reasons why you should blog:

1.     A blog is your canvas. It is a portal where you can express your thoughts, revelation and artistic creativity.

2.     It’s free. It’s invaluable and all it costs is time.

3.     What you consider irrelevant might be of highest value to someone else. Don’t ever underestimate the power of words God places in your heart.

4.     Your thoughts are stored in cyberspace. Easily accessible at any time and place with technology today.

5.     It is a fascinating tool to network with other people that share your thoughts and dreams.

6.     It provides a platform to showcase your thoughts and gets your creative juices flowing.

7.     You can reach out to people across the globe without flexing your gluteus maximus.

8.     There are several blog hosts like WordPress, Blogspot, Blogger etc that you can use and customize to your liking.

9.     It can be a private journal that your annoying sibling can’t run away with

10. You can write a thousand posts or twenty-five, but if one makes a difference in someone’s life, it’s worth it.

11. You can have as many as you want, but don’t go all crazy now.

12. People can respond to your thoughts.

So if you feel like you always have something to say about everything but no one listens, jump on the bandwagon. I guarantee someone will pay attention.
