what is a blog is apparently the number one search involving the word “blog”. this small article that lists a pair’s blogging know how () starts off with this in the first bullet point and is something they say adds to the mystery and allure of blog culture. i don’t exactly get how people not understanding a blog is helpful in getting people to blog but, apparently these guys think it is. some of the other points they touch on but (as they even end up saying) it all boils down to originality and practicality taking over. which are two rather good things. tagging makes it simple to keep in touch with things as does the wonders of the RSS feed. i am pretty technologically impaired (one of the reasons i thought this class would be a good thing for me to learn) but, even i can understand how this would all be a good thing to get everyone involved in. blog culture is not just a way to connect to your friends and journal (which is honestly what i thought prior this course) but more a connection of ideas. the little article i referenced is merely a list as to the hows and whys.
