This led me to some soul searching to find out why I was maintaining a blog and I had to ask myself “What’s the point of blogging again?”

Ultimately, I realized I had pigeonholed myself into trying to maintain a professional blog that focused solely on my career. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, but there is a problem when you’re censoring the things you write out of concern of what your employer or potential employers will think about your posts.

To me, the whole point of social media and blogging is to encourage conversation and to challenge the status quo through these conversations. Once you’ve started to do that it’s not long before true innovation and new ideas start showing up everywhere.

I don’t think I was really contributing to any conversation in my old blog. While I definitely wrote some helpful posts to people looking at working at a small company or who may have an interview coming up – I don’t think it was really stimulating any type of conversation.

That has led to the close of prsnackbar.com and to the grand opening of dominicrgarcia.com.

So tell me – what do you think the point of blogging is?
