Usefulness of Blogs

Blogs draw parallel to the personal diaries some of us keep. And recently, I realized the benefits of keeping my blog updated with technical workarounds that I have discovered and shared with you.

After reinstalling Microsoft Vista on my notebook just a few days earlier, I found to my dismay, that I had not backed up my hosts file. I had previously modified the file to point to a website I frequented but have had many DNS timeouts. If you use Vista, you can empathize the pain of modifying system files on this OS. Thankfully, I had blogged about this earlier and was able to rectify my problem.

Good reason to blog?
