I believe that if you want to blog somewhere new (StumbleUpon is a blog) but don't know where to start Squidoo is a good place. They call a blog there a "Lens" (as in camera lens - a way to provide your view to the World the way a photographer shares what they see in photographs). Here are four good reasons: 1. It is free. 2. They already have traffic. 3. They monetize it for you so there is income potential - having income from what you write allows you to dedicate more time to sharing. 4. They have a good FAQ and SquidooU to help you get started and learn how to blog. Here are some reasons you may want to blog: From the page: "WHY SHOULD I BUILD A LENS? Great question! Here are just a few reasons to get you creative muses flowing: 1. Share the knowledge: When you know a lot about something, it feels good to share. Help other people discover what you found out the hard way. 2. Increase your profile: A popular lens gives credibility to the Lensmaster. A popular lens reinforces your role as an "everyday expert." And a popular lens makes you the go-to authority for those looking for help. 3. Increase your traffic: Your lens points (if you want it to) to your blog and to your website. Lenses have huge credibility with search engines, so your lens can help your other sites rise to the top of Google searches. 4. Earn a royalty for you, your organization, or your favorite charity. Think of the royalty as a bonus--and don't quit your dayjob yet! A single lens might not earn a lot, but if you imagine hundreds of lenses working to your favor, or fundraising for a charity, it can really start to add up."
