(Note: I visit to this Math blog was a turning point in my personal journey through blogosphere.) Before: I moderated only my own 'virtual estate,' remaining a passive reader/follower of blogs by others. After: I wrote for this blog, for I had been deeply moved and wanted to belong to this web space.
