Blog = Weblog

I noticed someone posted a question in the comments of a posting asking what a “blog” is. Contrary to my mom’s first thought that a blog sounded like a sea monster or some such creature, a blog is actually short for “Weblog”. Basically it is an online log of thoughts, ideas, happenings, or whatever mumbo jumbo the author feels like keeping track of. 😉

Blogs are getting more and more popular – even GeorgeWBush.com has one. I, for one, have several blogs I check everyday, mainly consisting of people who are important to me but do not live here. It is a cool way for me to keep up on the lives of those I care about.

So, I hope that answers any questions about what a “blog” is. 🙂
