Blogging as a concept and a culture has gained widespread relevance in the present times. People today are driven by a new found zeal and self reliance, and have moved out of the shadows of self doubt and nonacceptance. They confidently share with the world whatever they have to say, and Internet as a medium provides them with the group of audience who will be interested in going through their sentiments. This is perhaps the biggest advantage of having a blog. You need not be concerned about what the other person may think about you or whatever you put across your blog, all you have to do is be honest to yourself.
