Blogs

PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS NOT FLOOD - JUST TO POINT OUT

Right, down to business.
Blogs, loads of people have them, and I've recently started my own - called Best Left Un-Read and would like to:
A) Advertise it - shamelessly, of course...
But more importantly:
B) Start a sensible topic of conversation about blogs.

When I was much younger, I kept a diary of my day-to-day activities (Aged like, 10-12ish) and recently found and re-read some of it. Having felt nostalgic, and having enjoyed hearing my younger self's thoughts on the world, I got to wondering if I looked back at my 18-year-old self in say, 5 years time, what would I think. I've started my blog, because of this, and I like writing, yet infrequently have anything to write about since leaving college, and as such, decided it would be a good experience for me to write about my day-to-day life. Now, my life is wholly un-remarkable, and I don't write with others enjoyment as my foremost thought, I write because I want to.
Now, until recently, I considered blogs to be tools for attention-seekers, and never considered writing one myself. I'd like to hear peoples's opinions on this, if you have a blog, read them, or have nothing to do with them at all, why do you write them? Why do you read them? Do you read because they're interesting, or because their authors are your friends? And if not, why not, how do you view bloggers.
I'm merely curious as to this community's views, and would appreciate it if people can remain non-judgemental and polite, and by all means shunt this to flood if it isn't taken as a serious discussion about opinions.
