Is blogging only for Money?

Perhaps this is nothing to get worried about, but I have heard other people claim that I blog for money. I’ve been accused by shills that I get paid for my blogging, especially on Get Real Philippines, but am not disclosing. As I said before, my blogging for this is for free. 



Then come people who tell me that blogging should be for money and is always for money. You would not have a blog if you were not trying to earn money. If you have a blog that you don’t make money from, then you are stupid; blogs are for money! Don't maintain a blog that doesn't earn money, you dumbass! 

Hogwash.

Blogs are simply websites with preset formats and do-it-yourself features that allow putting up content very easily. Blogs also have features for periodic additional content, hence the term blog from weblog – from a log that is usually updated. Features are added that allow people to make money, but they are not always used. I don't use them.

Let blogging be what it is. A freewheeling posting of things by the owner, an online diary. It’s mostly given for free and is a great way to express oneself to the world and blow steam. That for me is what blogging is really for. Let bloggers be and stop telling them what to do.
