Here is some great info on what a weBLOG is: Anatomy of a Weblog.


I get asked about what a weB LOG (BLOG) is and how you make them. Here is a reprint of a post I made April last year. I hope it helps.

Here are some of the weblogs that are listed at BlogShares.com. They are from all kinds of people with all kinds of ideas, check them out. Oh and By The Way, I don't endorse any of the views omn the sites listed, just wanted to shre the world of weB LOGs with you all!.


Movable Type - One of the many weB LOGing sites, great tools and used by some of the best BLOGs out there. Check site for costs.

Blogger - A great site, recently bought by the Google people, allows for a quick and easy way to create a BLOG, I use this service at the moment. Free and paid versions.

Radio UserLand - An easy- Weblog tool that runs on your desktop. It automatically builds your weblog and publishes it to the Web in minutes. It is not free.

Dave Barry's Blog - Yes the great satirist and funnyman has his own BLOG, check it out!

Biz Stone, Genius - This guy has written a book about BLOGs, it is on sale on Amazon.com. Check out the BLOG and more info on the author.

Blogrolling News - BlogRolling is a one-stop linklist manager for your blog or journal, helping you manage your ever-evolving linklist with ease.

Metafilter - A weblog that anyone can contribute a link or a comment to. A typical weblog is one person posting their thoughts on the unique things they find on the web. This website exists to break down the barriers between people, to extend a weblog beyond just one person, and to foster discussion among its members.

The Computer Vet Weblog - Scott Schrantz is a computer and Web professional living on the sagebrush-y outskirts of Carson City, Nevada. This weblog is my place to point out what I think is good about the Web, or just spout off about whatever I'm thinking.

Ask Lutz - By all means, if you'd like to ask Lutz for some unproffesional advice, please feel free to do so. Lisa Lutz used to work for a private investigator; she knows things.

Instapundit.com - "The New York Times of the bloggers." -- Pravda "The Grand Central Station of Bloggerville" -- American Journalism Review.
