Sometimes it feels like we’re running around with our heads cut off… too many new web 2.0 applications!

-A blog (a contraction of the term "Web log") is a Web site, 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.

However, much like a seedling, a blog needs regular attention to make it successful.

Two popular blogging web sites are Blogger and Wordpress.
