I started my blog mostly because I started having to write for work, and realized that I wasn't very good at it. That bothered me, because I used to be a decent writer. I guess writing skill, like anything, has to be used or it'll atrophy.
Another consideration is that part of my job involves evangelizing Web 2.0 functionality for my company. How could I tell clients there's value in blogging (among other things) if I don't have one myself, right?
I'm not interested in monetarizing the blog per se. However, I have great hope to use it as a marketing tool for my employer. Does that count?
