Also and perhaps more to the point, I suspect many people who start blogging realize fairly quickly that they either don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t like sharing all their thoughts to the world, or that their thoughts, while interesting to them, appear fairly banal once they\u00e2\u0080\u0099re typed out, and it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s better just not to post them for the sake of posting them. And there\u00e2\u0080\u0099s nothing wrong with this either, and indeed the blogger is to be congratulated of the bit of personal insight.
