steven n fettig's Jitterin' Thoughts

Is weblogging an egoistic venture? Sometimes, when days have passed and I have posted nothing to either of my sites, I get a sense of urgency - the urgency to post something soon or people won't come back. The reality is that I think the only reason come to this site is due my translation of Oliver Lehmann's Qmail HOWTO. I get questions regarding other things once in a while, but the majority of my readers are obviously interested in one thing. In the end, that is why I split into two weblogs so that one could be tech based (this one) and the other, well, other stuff. Still, I have a sense of urgency about me when I haven't posted anything - as if it will really matter. Why do you blog? That is the question I asked myself and found only a few reasons for:
1) I would like to have a place to "publish" my writings because I like to write.
2) I would like to continue disseminating any information relating to open source software (tips, tricks and howto's).
3) Writing makes me feel good. When I learned the aristotelian meaning of catharsis, I realized that was what writing was to me. It is a form of release for me.
So, why do you blog/not blog?
