Sighh.....so I've figured that out now. What a relief.

Now its time to divulge into exactly why this occupation is so significant in a person's life.

From the previous post, it seems that that there is no set answer as to why people transcribe their lives for stranger's eyes. I suppose it has something to do with their interests and values. It reminds me vaguely of Theory class and the Model of Human Occupation, specifically the volition aspect. Its interesting how thoughts, feelings, ideas are conveyed through some electronic portal to the rest of the world, more interesting though is WHY they are conveyed. Judging from the abundant and quite diverse responses, I'd say its because they like to talk and its easy to talk about any topic and know that you are not being judged by the person in front of you and you can say whatever you want. Fascinating idea.

Since there is no universal reason for blogging, the only thing left to do is to accept its existence and perhaps look at it from another perspective. We have already allowed it to sustain as part of our virtual (and slowly creep into our real) world, but another aspect to consider is how much significance does it hold in a person's life?
Is it just a once a year entry? once a month? once a week? perhaps everyday?? or even multiple times a day!
Timing is key but what about design and style? Clearly that had to take some insight and self reflection right? Or maybe people just pick random colors? I could swear I saw some blogs with glittered writing on it.

When I started this blog it took me a whopping 6 minutes to just choose one of ten layout styles. I was surprised at myself at how long I sat here debating whether I wanted a default layout or something a little classy, perhaps techno... until I settled on what you see now. Six minutes may not seem like a long time, but considering there were only 10 styles to choose from, and my already biased thoughts about blogs, I honestly did not expect to spend that much time on a pre-made layout. (imagine if I had to create my own layout! what a disaster!)
But atleast creating my own blog has got me looking at this from a totally different point of view. But again, nothing is complete without research. So we go again, to the most knowledgeable source- Mr. GOOGLE.
