Previously in articles and commercial books published about blogs (Rebecca Blood&#8217;s books and the O&#8217;Reilly book, for example), why we blog has been researched using personal experience, with a few indepth interviews, or by analyzing websites. None of these three ways can come close to providing as accurate a depiction of the blogging population &#8212; who we all really are, why we blog, and how we&#8217;re using our blogs &#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.christineregina.com\/thesis\/intro.htm\" title=\"Bloggers and their Blogs\">as a survey<\/a>.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wilwheaton.net\/mt\/archives\/001231.php\" title=\"Calling all bloggers\">Wil<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>None of these three ways can come close to providing as accurate a depiction of the blogging population &mdash; who we all really are, why we blog, and how we&#8217;re using our blogs &mdash; as a survey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2040],"tags":[599],"class_list":["post-993","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-weblogs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=993"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/993\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
