Somewhere along the way, through somewhat irresponsible journalism and conservative spin, blogging has gotten a bad name. In the minds of the uneducated or uninitiated, blogging seems to conjure up images of sexual predators, covert drug deals, underaged promiscuity, and general debauchery. I actually heard the words, “Blogger, what in the world is blogger?” come out of someone’s mouth, said with twisted lips and a tone of voice usually reserved for questions like, “You killed your own child?” These people need to be educated. Blogging is not a sin. Now maybe sinners have more fun at it, but that’s hardly a new or trend-specific concept. There is worthwhile material out there in the blogging universe no matter who you are, and I have no doubt that it helps to keep us all a little bit sane. Next time you hear someone disparage blogging in general or a blog site, speak up. Let that person know that you enjoy blogs, bloggers, blogging, and general sociability, and they should try it before they judge it.
