1. It keeps the spiders who search for new content happy , so your blog maintains a high ranking. 2. It keeps your fingers limber as you type out some semblance of an idea. 3. It keeps your audience,who looks to you for entertainment, slightly happier than if they had reached a blank space. 4. It allows you to fill in your time sheet with something more productive than, say, nothing. 5. It gets your brain moving (although not very far) on a gray Monday. 6. It gives you that semi-pride of semi- accomplishment. 7. Coworkers see you typing and assume you are working -- or Facebooking. 8. Keeps your audience from saying, "Hey, doesn't anything new ever happen around there" even though that is what they are still thinking. 9. Everybody else does it, so it must be okay. 10. There is no 10th reason other than research shows that people like blogs with lists. Especially lists with the number "10." As in "10 Ways to repurpose your chewing gum" or "10 things to do while waiting for your oil to be changed," or even "10 ways to do lists about 10 ways."
Happy Monday!
Blog, good.
