Purpose
In its generic form, a blog lets a person record events and ideas freely as individual posts without a container to define their scope and to group them by different goals. Blog posts of various purposes are recorded and presented in a single linear thread. Categories may be used to separate blog posts into a hierarchical structure, but does not conceptually separate posts of different projects of the same category.
When a user has multiple concurrent projects to blog, the creation of multiple blogs prevents the mixing of different project posts into one thread, and groups them under one web address, encouraging circulation and thus knowledge sharing. Once a project finishes, the blog will be considered inactive and out-dated.

Famous quotes containing the word purpose:
“Civilization is a process in the service of Eros, whose purpose is to combine single human individuals, and after that families, then races, peoples and nations, into one great unity, the unity of mankind. Why this has to happen, we do not know; the work of Eros is precisely this.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede. However, the cowboy also sang because he liked to sing.... In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.””
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“I have never doubted your courage and devotion to the cause. But you have just lost a Division, and prima facie the fault is upon you; and while that remains unchanged, for me to put you in command again, is to justly subject me to the charge of having put you there on purpose to have you lose another.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
