The blogging dilemma

So I am getting rid of the Thanksgiving background on my blog and I did a quick check of everyone's blogs and I'm pretty sure everyone has just about given up. I actually got excited because a friend of mine from Vegas finally got a blog a couple months ago and put one post and hasn't done another. I really love reading my friend's blogs. I love keeping up with old friends that I don't get to see every day. I love the concept of blogs. But I sit here and wonder... why bother?
