> If you don't care about an audience, why spend the effort to maintain an online presence that requires time and money?
1. The cost is minimal ($5/mo)
2. The time is roughly the same as not putting it online, as the time consuming activity is the writing itself.
3. Putting it online makes it easier for me to access my own writings from anywhere when I need to jog my memory.
I've literally pulled out my phone and went to one of my blog posts to share an embedded photo of something with someone in person while telling the story I shared on the post in a social gathering, much the same way others will use google on their phone to do similar.
4. Putting it online makes it possible for others to access it. I don't /need/ an audience, but I also think that "sharing is caring" and that sharing my thoughts, experiences, and knowledge online allows for the Internet to grow as a repository of human knowledge in some small way further enhancing the world.
