I know how.  But WHY?  

Especially, why would a writer blog?  From a writer's
standpoint, I want to get paid for what I write. This is the
goal.  I don't always achieve it, of course:  but it's the
aim.  If I don't get paid for it, I'm not distributing it
publicly.  Why buy a cow, etc.?  

I also cannot imagine that anyone would want to read my
thoughts, events, etc. every day.  Maybe I have something to
say to the world occasionally, but certainly not every day.

(I participate in mailing lists for interest and mutual
help, and they are an exception to the 'I want to get paid
for it' rule.)
