Can a blogger who reads other blogs become a blogger?

Now i dont want to copy other materials or so. I just beleeve that i dont have enough knowledge. does reading other's blog means that u get dependant on them and do not create your own views?
Can a blogger who reads other blogs become a blogger?
I suspect most bloggers today became bloggers after reading other people's blogs: they see it done, think "Hey, I can do that," and then they do.





I read over 200 blogs a month, and I don't think they influence my views very much, though a lot of them provide me with ideas for new posts. (I average about 170 posts a month.)
Reply:No, you aren't accepting the person's views as your own. You're free to disagree with it, or agree. You're simply learning about the person who writes the blog's views,





yours may or may not differ.


But you're still creating your own.
Reply:No, I suppose you might have a different point of view on some things (which, by the way, is good). But you'll still have your own personal opinions, but who knows, you %26amp; the author's views might be the same.
Reply:No... you must respect the work of others friend. If you want to be a blogger, researching is the key then make your own entries based on what you have learned.
Reply:yes and no!
