Blogging: A Hobby on the rise

I had never heard about blogs and blogging until my second year in college. And when I came to know that it was similar to a website rather a web page, I did want to start one and maintain it. I immediately created a blog and wrote a couple of posts. But I was not able to continue writing regularly with purpose. And during my final year in college (4th year) I somehow found interest in blogs again. But this time I've been maintaining that. When I told my friends about this, they were not that much interested.

But even they realised that blogs were great way to earn some money and presently most of my friends are having a blog. I've wondered several times what was so special about blogs? And the answer which I told myself was it was a very simple tool through which you can express yourself and do a lot more. Nowadays a lot of celebrities have started to blog and their fans enjoy reading those. Blogging has become a favourite hobby for many while it continues to be the profession for a few.
