Ask HN: Why Do You Blog?
2 points by veddox on May 20, 2019 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
We regularly get blogging-related questions and posts on here - this gives me the impression that a surprisingly large percentage of HNers are also more or less active bloggers. Having started my own tech/science blog about half a year ago, I'd be interested in hearing some of your experiences. (This is directed especially at "private" blogs, i.e. not for a company or organisation.)

So, two questions: first of all, why do you blog? And secondly, how did you gain your readership?

Looking forward to your answers :-)




Question #1: I enjoy pushing myself to refine my thoughts... there is no better way than writing.

Question #2: pretty sure very few people read my blog... some friends, etc (blog here: jonpauluritis.com)
