Blogs can be an administrators way of creating a professional learning community with their peers. Because principals, in particular, don't have other principals on-site to collaborate with, blogs can be there way of sustaining a professional conversation with a group of their peers. This can be a place to voice frustrations, brainstorm, celebrate success, learn from the way other adminstrators address issue or even how they think through an issue. I think too, that having this sustained interaction with other administrators can motivate you to always keep moving forward because your peers are and also because you have a support system.
Admittedly, creating my own blog is the first time I've ever visited a blogging site. I'm an old dog, but luckily have two 20 year olds that showed me the ropes a bit. I'm looking forward to seeing where this takes me.
