To Blog or Not to Blog?

That is the question.... right? I'm new to the world of blogging and have been searching for information about what blogging really is all about. Is it worth all the hype? Time? Energy? and Money? How far do we go down this trivial pursuit of conversation and opinion? Is there such a thing anymore as too much information? Are we talking more and listening less? Personally, I don't know, but as you can see, it was tempting enough for me to stick my toe in and test the blogging waters. Here goes nothing!!!!
