12/01/2004: "What is a blog?"

A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person's life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of an online hybrid diary/guide site. There are as many unique types of blogs as there are people.
People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the introduction of automated published systems. Blogs are alternatively called web logs or weblogs. However, "blog" seems less likely to cause confusion, as "web log" can also mean a server's log files.

This is is the first time I install a blog on my website. It will provide me with an opportunity to share ideas, news and comments about a variety of issues with you.
