For example a blogger who creates a blog for the purpose of removing frustrations in life may choose to keep the blog private so that friends or family members are not able to read these vents. In contrast a blogger who is blogging for a purpose such as to promoting a cause will choose to make the blog public so that this message can reach as many Internet users as possible. However, bloggers who create a blog to express themselves through their writing, poetry or other form of expression can choose to make the blog private or public depending on whether or not they want to make these personal feelings available to others. In this situation some blogger will popularize the blog because they want to reach out to others who may either express their feelings or may benefit from reading their blogs.
