I think the day I took off my counter from the side bar my writing improved instantly. I no longer wrote to raise the number, just wrote for myself. Ahhh…great post.

When I posted my comment, another comment came up as a quote from my blog. Did I do that by linking to the post on my blog? It was a bit surprising! OK I’m doing making lots of comments tonight!!

I have been following comments and posts about this issue around the web all day. Its helped me think about my own purposes for blogging - as I wrote in my post http://educatingerin.edublogs.org/2008/04/28/it-cant-be-that-boring/ I started my blog for a uni assignment, but I had always been interested in the potential for reflection and learning in a blog P.S. sorry about the long url - I'm not sure how to put a hyperlink in a comment!

I'm slowly reading through my reader and came across your reflection today. I echo what Jo said in that I blog for many of the reasons you included in your post. I do not blog just for my own reflection. I hope that others will find my work and something I write will help them out. I keep track of visits with a ClustrMap and Feedjit for my own personal enjoyment. I look at Technorati from time to time. I keep Statcounter results and look at them almost every day. It fascinates me how people find my blog. A lot of hits come from Google searches. When I started teaching K-8 computers, many ideas came from static web pages produced by teachers. I didn't really find edublogs in my search results back in 2001. If I was starting out today, your blog and those of other edubloggers would have been a great resource. I think you find what you expect in many ways. I have found a very open, sharing community. I am amazed at the variety of people who share their ideas with me. I hope as time goes on, I can be a welcoming presence to others, as well. I’ve been following these conversations, as well. I’m slowly reading through my reader and came across your reflection today.

I blog for all the reasons you mentioned. I never expected any of the other stuff, the being recognised and all that. But it is nice as well. One of the reasons I like the edublogosphere so much is that ppl are so welcoming and encouraging, unlike so many other experiences we have where so much is expected of us and the only time we hear any reaction is when we have let someone down. I believe it is a re.al learning community and the ppl that are recognised because of their blogging have a responsibility in turn to recognise and encourage new bloggers Hi Silvia, there is a lot of wisdom here.
