We blog for three reasons, writes Andy Hawthorne: "Future you. Your posts become a time capsule of your evolving mind; One right person. Maybe one day, someone stumbles across your words at exactly the right moment. And that changes something for them; The work itself. Consistency beats virality. A hundred posts with depth will outlast a single viral hit." All true. But he did not mention the fame, glory and wealth. I wonder why not... Via Ed Summers.
