Many of us will read a blog or a social site on a daily basis. Approximately 5.8 million blogs are created everyday with a staggering 77% of internet users reading them everyday [Nick, G, 2019]. Lets firstly define the difference between a blog and a social network. Merriam-Webster [2020] defines a blog as a regular feature that appears online as part of a publication that relates to a particular topic or personal commentary by one author. A social network site is defined as a dedicated website or other application that enables users to communicate with each other online [Oxford, 2020].

Why Should People Read Your Blog?

https://aguycalledbloke.blog/2019/04/26/qq-why-should-people-read-your-blog/

If blogs were only for reading, then I think most blog software would be considered bloated.

In order to simply read, plain HTML is completely sufficient and fine.

IMHO, the main reason why people should read is pretty much the same as the reason to listen: it is an essential part of communication, interaction, engagement, participation in a collaborative effort towards mutual understanding and life / project development, growth, and the whole notion of “progress” in general.

To that end, blogging software / technology must be more sophisticated than plain paper, ink, printing presses, dead trees and other such “outdated” technologies.
