Do You Reblog? Why or Why Not? My Reasons For Re-Blogging.

When Active Rain first came out with the ability to re-blog, I wasn't sure that I liked the idea... I'm always just a tad cautious about new things and need a little time to think about it or get used to it. 

Quickly though I realized that others were writing stuff that my clients would or could benefit from if they read it... articles about topics that those writers were much better qualified to write and may have just said it better than I had.

So I started re-blogging.

Since there are mortgage people here on Active Rain that are writing some really great blogs about all of the ins and outs of mortgages, I sometimes re-blog a mortgage post.  It compliments the topics that I choose to write about.

Ditto for staging.  My clients could really benefit from good staging articles and we have some of the best stagers in the world right here writing about it.  So I re-blog staging articles. And home inspection articles, AND appraisal articles. 

Sometimes someone posts an article and I just flat-out do not want to lose that article and I will come back to it easier if I re-blog it into my line-up... I realize that reason for re-blogging may be a little off base but hey, it's the truth.

Sometimes I simply truly enjoy an article.  It says things in ways that I want to promote...so I re-blog.

Every once in a while someone is trying to accomplish a worthwhile goal that will better accomplished if more people know about it, so I re-blog their post to bring attention to their issue.

On one re-blog, I received an email from the original blogger, compliementing me on the use of her blog.  I had added a little bit to the title for a better fit to my area.  I knew when I saw her photo blog that it was a great one for use around Lake Raymond Gary and I appreciate her letting me re-blog and her compliment on my use of it. 

Re-blogging allows me to have a much fuller blog for my clients and customers with depth into areas where others are the expert, not me.  Hopefully it will benefit my clients, my office, and the original blogger.

So my question - Why do you re-blog?
