Why do people read blogs?

Here's a question worth asking: why do people read blogs?

Is it to stay in touch with a friend ?

Is it to read something interesting or encouraging for the day?

Is it to look at someone's photos?

Is it to have some new ideas to think about?

As I ask these questions, I am also asking myself what direction, (if any) I should take with this blog? It's hard to write without a focus and a purpose.  So with that (faithful few readers) I ask: why do you check out my blog? Please share in the comments below (or email is good too.)
