So my Buddy and Pal (the only one following this blog at the time of writing ;-) asked me to explain my thoughts behind creating a personal website (http://www.frankharvie.za.net) and a personal blog (http://frankharvie.blogspot.net).
Another ex-colleague/bud wrote an article on how to obtain an absolutely free website (from the domain name to the hosting (http://www.mantidipo.co.za/freewebsite). I followed it, and while creating it decided to create a personal website. I did this just to check if the method worked, which it did.
Then later I stumbled on another article (as a result of an rss feed I follow - LifeChurch.tv Online Church blog). This article included a link to another article on which was a link to yet another article discussing personal branding (I know, I know, too much info ;-)
The bottom line was this - creating an online presence for yourself can assist when you are: impressing your friends, joining in on the online socializing revolution, job-hunting, doing online evangelism, or just simply establishing your brand.
You give people a URL (www.frankahrvie.za.net) and they can get a feel for who you are and what you are about. Your likes and dislikes. Your beliefs and un-beliefs. etc.
Bottom line: Chicks dig it! (as one of our Cisco instructors always used to say, not that I have to impress chicks - cause I am happily married ;-)

Why blogging? Because even if people around you are not interested in what you have to say, somewhere in the bloggosphere you'll find someone who will be. Beats facebooking anyday
