The list I copied was apparently designed for "tumblr," which I assume is quite similar to "Blogger." Just a guess. I'll continue assuming that this "tumblr" is, therefore, just one of many blogging options, and nothing beyond the basic concept. So if I'm missing something by my assumptions, then I'll just answer the question that is in my head...
One of the first blogs I had any interest in was one my friend was keeping during an around-the-world trip. The previously-mentioned Paul, post-graduation, took off on an adventure that I was very jealous of, so I kept up with his trip via his blog, Vagabonding. So that was my introduction to "Blogger."
My reason behind starting my own blog was very simple. I like to write, and I want to get better. I've since learned that this format for writing is not the kind of thing that makes a big difference in elevating the skill of writing, at least that I've noticed. What has been interesting to discover is the amount of discipline it requires to crank out something very often. I've never been a technology-minded person. It took me years to convert from tapes to CDs, years to acquire a cell phone, I still don't text, and for me, writing is best done on paper. But I'm starting to get better at the art of forcing myself to write, regardless of whether I'm feeling the need for the mental release. So that's why I'm keeping the blog, despite the unsuccessfulness of my posting.
