Research request: Why do you blog?

Hi - in response to Valeria's excellent suggestion, I'd like to start a series on why marketers blog.

If you are a marketer who blogs - whether on the M20 or not - I'd like to highlight you in a post.  If you could email me directly in response to the following questions, along with a picture and link to your blog, that would be fantastic.

I'd like to keep these in a consistent Q&A format, so copying the questions and responding inline would be preferred:

• What is your URL and how long have you been blogging?
• How did you first hear about blogs?
• Why did you decide to start blogging?
• What process, if any, did you work through from a corporate perspective?
• What are your most and least favorite aspects of blogging?
• What would you change with 20/20 hindsight?
• What three blogs have you gained the most insight from in the past month?
• Anything else?

Thanks!  Your suggestions for additional questions and insight are always welcome.  (The email link is in the right hand nav.)

Thank you, Peter. I will point marketers to this post. And maybe we can even help some who do not blog currently and are thinking about starting.
