Blogs - Good or Bad?

Recently I had a end of year meeting with my tutor at University. After talking about a few things we came onto the topic of Blogs. This is down to how we have to create a Blog to publicize our work, keep track or work we like, keep a record of what designers we have contacted and then keep track of other things like portfolio viewings and lectures etc.

Whilst we was talking about this we had a little debate on blogs. Little things about why we should do them if they don't get recognized and why do them in the first place.

So, after I left this meeting I decided to further this more and contacting designers and seeing what they thought about blogs.

Each designers opinion's will follow when I hear back from them.
