Why Blogging?

Blogging has become the in thing. Everyone is doing it. I feel that as a late bloomer, I need to thank those who have paved the way for me on the blogging trail.
Why is blogging so popular?
I believe people have something to say, and can find no better way than post their ideas on the Information Super Highway (the Internet).
Why do I blog?
The truth.... I have it. I know that someone out there is looking for answers, and I am here to give it to them. Not directly, like a specific advise column, but generally. I believe that truth will be gleaned by those who read my blog.
I looked several times at my first blog (many of you I am sure remember it), but did not see many responses posted. I was a little disappointed, but then my wife (who knows a little more about the sub-culture that is the blogosphere) told me that you have to let people know you are "out there." I was not aware of this. I assumed that anyone who googled the word "truth" would come across my blog and with google being argueably the best search engine on the planet (and people constantly in search of truth), I was expecting quite a few "hits" on the blog.
It is possible that so many people found me at once that the community of truth-seekers overloaded the system. In which case, I am sure the bugs will be taken out and comments will coming in soon.
Earlier I said that this blog, while giving truth, would not be like an advise column. Let me make one clarification. I am open to topic ideas. Feel free to send in topics you feel you need my opinion on. Let me tell you, that covers just about everything from hunting and fishing to the
Panic of 1837.
This Blog is being cut short do to my wife's need to get on the computer. There is something to be learned from my willingness to put my one true passion, that is blogging, on hold to allow my wife to use her computer.
Peace
