What is this new word "BLOG"? To me is sounds like something you step in and have to scrape off your shoe before you go back inside... :D

I think what it means is someones opinion on the internet, or a diary, journal type thing on the internet as well.
Its all about some one n their thoughts and their lives and theirs.they ..them.. :) ..Quote:

I've been wondering the same thing Laura!!! :D
blogging is like keeping an online journal....i blog on myspace..lol :D
"Web-log" --> Blog ;)
It sounds like a toilet to me! Im off to the bog now :p
I don't think they are a good idea as your diary or journal is supposed to be private (in my day) too many people get hurt when you write in them and it's up for any one to see. (some people on her already know what I mean)
Well if that is an issue than you can make your entries private.Quote:

It's not like a private diary persay though. Blogs aren't JUST for writing about your personal lives or thoughts. They have some media blogs where scholars blog about current events. There are some political blogs where people share their thoughts on what they think about what's going on politically, etc.Quote:

People need to be careful what they write in their 'blogs. (Properly, the word should be written like that, thanks Gramma G...) :p But they provide alternate viewpoints that can be valuable in a world of increasing levels of censorship. Better not go further or I'll be kicked out into the Doghouse! ;) :)
