People explain why they started a weblog. I started logging as a requirement for a web design class several years ago. This first log was to serve the purpose of keeping track of my progress made on class projects. Everyone in the class was to keep a log, and we were to make entries at least once a week. The only audience was the instructor, and the other members of the class, we were a small community. Before too long, I noticed that my log was becoming the source of a sort of therapy. I started to chronicle events in my life outside the class. I would vent frustrations and sing about successes. Finally in 2000, I took the leap in making my blog more public. Now that I have graduated, I probably have fewer readers than when I was still in school. The therapy is still effective though. Tracy
