Is your use of Twitter Facebook and other social networks impacting on your blogging?

Have a real think about it and if you decide to answer, answer honestly. You never know you may discover something about yourself.

Do you blog more or do you blog less?

Why do you blog? 

I am not interested in why you blog for work. I just want to know why you do a personal blog.

If you do answer this via Twitter could you please use #whydoiblog many thanks :)

I hope you like it, I did it as a video instead of boring you with my writing.

Feel free to comment on it, I know I look rough and unshaven but to be honest I really do not care. The header of these blogs are “I Write What I Like” so I’ll also look like what I like LOL (great English)

So check “The About Bit” by either clicking “The About Bit” tab or click here on this link

Thank you in advance for taking time to watch.

This system lets you debate with each other, so you can reply directly to someone’s comment. I think it’s a really cool idea.

It also lets you log in via Open ID if you wish, again I think is a really cool idea.

If you get time let me know what you think. I am always grateful for any feedback.

All the best, I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Years ago I picked up a book by Steve Biko it was a collection of some of his writings, things that would be banned under apartheid. This book was called “I Write What I Like”. 

I had already read all the Nelson Mandela books as he was higher profile.

I have always had an interest in the american civil rights movement, one of my biggest heros is Martin Luther King. When I am down I always listen to the “I Have a Dream” speech and then my world is a better place.

Then I found out that there were civil rights movements all over the world. I got drawn to the one in South Africa, after the release of Nelson Mandela (it was big news at the time). But if any of you get to know me you will find I did deeper. This is when I found Steve Biko and that wonderful collection of writings in the book “I Write What I Like”

I have huge admiration for people who fight the system, the men and women who say “no we should not be treated this way” and more importantly get off their backsides and do something about it. I think more people stand up and try and make this world a better place.

So the explanation of this blog is longer than I expected. The basic principle of the blog will be the I Write What I Like.

From now on I Write What I Like.
