All About Blogging

This is going to random...
As I've said before, I was a blog reader before I ever considered creating one of my own. It was only when I realized what a unique experience I'd be having (around the world in 340 days) that I figured I could start blogging. And even then, I didn't know what I was getting myself into. How could I have predicted that I'd still be blogging 3.5 years later, with friends I only met because of the blogosphere, and continue to be inspired by them and other bloggers on a daily basis?
Two years ago, I lost all my blog posts. Two months ago, I lost my domain name. Today, the blog is finally complete. I've republished every single blog post that had been misplaced. I apologize for confusing you if you're getting them on Google Reader, but maybe you enjoyed rereading them as much as I did? :). Ha, probably not. Still, you should know that even though I can never get your thoughtful comments back, it warms my heart to reflect on them. This may be belated, but thank you.
You rock. My analytics tell me that you guys and gals are mainly from the States too, but a large number are also from Canada, the United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Australia, Israel, Qatar, France, Germany, and Finland. Um, that's amazing. Plus, some of you found me by searching "what happened to danielle abroad a nourishing glimpse" which is just about the sweetest thing ever.
And so, I offer three things--a question: Why do you read Danielle Abroad?; an invitation to connect further: on Twitter, Goodreads, TravelerVoice, Bliss Connect, and Networked Blogs; and an opportunity to take a gander at my current blogroll:
