Blogging--What's the point?

Recently, an acquaintance of mine began blogging. He's high up on the ministry ladder and announced he was blogging. I was excited for him...finally, my brother was blogging and sharing his life on the blogosphere! 

So, I did what any other blog reader would do: I left a comment, congratulating him on starting a blog. WOW, what a mistake that was! 

The following weekend, his assistant informed me that I needed to pay closer attention to the "rules" of the blog and only comment on the content of the blog. Oh, I see! So, REALLY, the blog isn't so much just being written AND operated by the author, it's only written by the author and audited and operated by his assistant! 

Lessons learned:

• Closely observe any "rules" regarding a particular blog and if the author is mentioned in third person, most likely, it's being administrated by someone else
• The best blogs are those whose author is writing and reading the comments. 

Under normal circumstances, I would confront my acquaintance, but he's only reachable by email and again, his assistant handles his email! Oh well! 

Sadly, I won't be reading my acquaintance's blog or encouraging others to do so, as I just don't see the point!
