Frostfrog opens his own cat blog, sort of...

[Frostfrog]

Hello -

I don't really have time to make a cat blog right now, but, come fall, I plan to get very serious about it and to make a real cat blog.

I decided that I might as well use a generic blog form - google, in this instance - to introduce the idea. Then, as I have time, I will research this whole blog thing and then in the fall will launch the real project.

In the meantime:

I have also begun a website. I have much work to do on it yet and most of the galleries are blank. It will probably take me a year to get it all together. Here is the link:

You have just started and I'm already fascinated! I'll be sure to bookmark for the future.

For Gary and those that want more information about what a blog is, see here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog

A blog (an abridgment of the term web log) is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries.

blog
Pronunciation: \ˈblȯg, ˈbläg\
Function: noun [or verb - cc]
Etymology: short for Weblog
Date: 1999

: a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer

I'd say the difference between a blog and a 'regular' website is that it's created by an individual, and is a personal site.

Catty's post pretty well defines it. For a blog to be a blog other than just a regular website, it should include regular and and running commentary.

These days, there are many political blogs, like Hillary Clinton's and Barack Obama's and commentators on the left and right, many of whom pretend to be journalists, and a few actually are.
