Had a non-tech blog. I mostly translated and commented on travel writing and news articles on obscure subjects.<p>Mainly it was for me to organise/summarise my knowledge on various topics. But it got too time consuming to write whole posts at once, so for a while I switched to writing Wikipedia articles. They fulfilled the same organisation/summarisation function, and it turned out to be a better platform than blogging for incremental/iterated writing.
I think the question is biased by the wording - people will be more likely to view the poll if they satisfy the condition "have a blog that you closed". You should instead ask something like "have you ever blogged?". FWIW.<p>Edit: that's going to cut out people who haven't blogged a little too, perhaps "have you ever considered blogging?". Of course then there's "what's a blog". But I'm trying to be simple.
