Simplicity

Blogger provides a easy 3-step solution to setting up a blog.

Since the blog explosion in early 2004, blog hosts are providing easier and more user-friendly means for people to create blogs. Even inexperienced computer users unfamiliar with HTML can generate a personal blog within minutes, and start posting entries immediately. Free blog hosts such as Blogger, Xanga and LiveJournal offers a step-by-step blog creation process where the user selects his blog address, fills out basic information about the blog, and selects a theme. The user can then start posting straight away.

Opinions
People often want their opinions heard, and with the ease of blogging, they started blogs. Many people become bloggers because they want to voice out their concerns and outlooks on current affairs and policies. Since a blog is public, anybody can see what is written.
Teenagers usually create blogs to let off steam or complain about school life and policies. They are relatively free to declare what they want, be it about teachers, parents or friends, since the blogs are mostly private and only made known among schoolmates.

Popularity of blogging
Peer-pressure also plays a role in the growth of blogs, where people set up their own blogs just because most of his/her friends maintain blogs of their own.

Personal Space

The blogger’s pride: a creative and eye-catching blog skin.

A personal page on the Internet is always appealing, and many people also create blogs for this reason. A blog offers people their own little space on the Internet, a place for them to say anything they want, akin to having your individual space on a public noticeboard. Also, many teenagers derive pleasure from doing up their personal blogs with custom templates. A professionally-done and creative blog template usually draws envy from fellow bloggers.
