There is a hidden value in blogging... You do it not for the applause but because it needs doing.

You write because you think, because you observe, because you need to put it somewhere.

If someone reads it? Bonus. If not? The work still got done.

I agree with many of the points in Andy's post.

I don't have analytics on my website, so I couldn't tell you who or how many people are visiting it.

And that's okay.

When someone links to content they found on my website and tags me or sends me an e-mail letting me know something on my website is broken is when I know there's at least one person.

Many of the content on here serves as a reminder of how I've solved problems for myself. The microposts and responses are observations that capture a moment in time. If the messages reach someone on the other end and either solve their problem or resonate with them, I'm happy that happens, but I see that as a bonus.
