Welcome.

Taken from (yay, here we go again – infringement of copyright or okay to quote?) alexking.org website – [blame him that I am now blobbing, a very nice site and interesting things there to see and read, next to some great software] -

What is a “blog”?

It is basically an on-line journal of sorts, a form of expression that is defined by each individual blogger. According to the Jargon File 4.1.0:

blog n.

[common] Short for `weblog’, an on-line web-zine or diary (usually with facilities for reader comments and discussion threads) made accessible through the World Wide Web. This term is widespread and readily forms derivatives, of which the best known may be `blogosphere’ (the hyperlinked totality of all blogs and the culture that surrounds it). Blogs can be personal or professional, topical or random, updated hourly or once a month or longer – it is all up to the individual.

MarketingTerms.com has some good links [and definitions].

Here is an nice article from the New Zealand News on the addictiveness of blogs for both the reader and author.

So much to the derivation and future of blogs.

Blog, blogging, blogger and blogs… .

Wish I would have known blog 2 years ago when I quit smoking. I might even dig into my email archives and post those blurbs of frustration.

Millions of people are now blogging and blobbing and blurting out their inner thoughts and you find blurb over blurb all over the net. And now this virus has hit me too.
