Writing a blog is a powerful way to engage with a subject. You can use it to convey or exchange information with people with similar interests to yourselves. Or you can use it to give your opinion on a topic, and to sway the opinions of others. It can be a tool to make money, or a way to help change the world for the better. Or both.

In all cases it can be a fun way to learn about new things and about other people.
