A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) or sexual topics (Adult blog), and are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts.

In May 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 71 million blogs....This is what a Blog is, Its not a chat room, It has no limit to the amount of interaction ONE MIGHT HAVE in a subject, There are no right or wrong answers...They are OPINIONS, by business professionals,blue coller workers,stay at home parents, employed people, unemployed people, EVERYONE AND, ANYONE....It's not a club, It crosses all kinds of Social lines, Economic lines,Religious lines, Political lines....BLOGS ARE OPINIONS..... No more and, no less...But if a person feels that their OPINION,is the only OPINION, then maybe BLOGGING isn't for them...And be respectfull towards each other, and their opinions, and how there written...BLOGS CROSS ALL LINES..

thank you, finally somebody understands what a blog is. Some times people confuse them with social clubs...when they really aren't.

This is what I thought too, but certain people on this blog site get preferrential treatment. I will name no names, but I think it's BS. Oh well - it's my OPINION (like the definition above says) - if you don't like it, TOO BAD!

:-P

If you notice they have'nt been putting a lot of new blogs though, nor are there a lot of people blogging...People are tending to use this as a chat room more then a blog...I think they really need to get a handle on it...Blogs are not created to be a chat room...Blogs are opinions,and really the idea of getting together with other bloggers I've never heard of, Perez Hilton is a professional blogger, and I am sure he would agree with me...Chat rooms is were people get together and agree on 1 thing...How do you, or anybody agree all the time, on every subject? They need to break the clicks up...Others are looking for a best friend...I tell my kids, my wife agrees and almost everyone at my job agree,and I work at a very large plant, that meeting people on the internet is not good...Talk all you want, but to get personal, no way...jmo

Hey Mike... nice to hear from a not so serious person.... Death is serious... Heart attacks are serious.... Blogging should be educational and fun.... I see that we both have Indian heritage.... It probably explains why I have been turning gray since I was 25

I respect that...mr_wildflower...And I agree, blogs are not ment for profit,there not ment for english lessons, there not ment to find a best friend...I've never seen you write anything that could be considerd critical,I am really not trying to be serious, but some topics are,but it is important to realize they are just opinions...To answer your other question yes the picture in my profile is my mother, I to am getting grey...Have a great weekend...Thank you for your comments..

You have a great weekend too.... on the light side of opinions did you notice that we spelled the word gray different.... We had a discussion on this in a class that I taught the other day and both spellings are correct.... I am retired from Chrysler so if you work there our paths probably have crossed at some time...

OK.................. Here is my opinion......
A blog is to do what I want with it.... PERIOD! If I want to tlak about politics, kids,nights out, or say happy b-day to a friend...... I have some good blogs that are just for fun. AN di ahd some that was serious that I wanted to stay on the topic. However, in a blog. I will give a shout out if ya will....
Hey Mr. Wild how ya been? Mamba, I haven't really seen ya on in awhile.
What is the big darned deal? Isn't free speech? SO my free speech is to chat.... Or blog or whatever I wanna say and do.... Mamba, I am intrigued to know of who you are tlaking about?

I'm sorry if we offend you, but you know what? No one is making you stay here.
I met one of the most wonderful person in the world online so not its not a bad thing.
My blog is for me to wrire whatever floats my boat. If you or anyone else doesn't want to visit my blog that is your choice. Personally I don't care. Some of your own blogs I find tedious and boring so I don't visit them. The point is if a blog doesn't interest you don't click on it. If you don't want to be social stay at home. No one is beating you with a club to do anything. JMO

MIKE; first you say; "They are the ultimate form of free speech..."

but then you dictate what they are and what they are not...please; make up your mind.

I didn't see any dictation of what can and can't be said. All I heard is opinion. After all, it really is all opinion, with facts added in to show why we have our opinions.
Or, as the late Richard Jeni said, it's all a big steaming pile of Me. Opinion.

...He doesn't blog that much he may respond to them but thats it...big whoop. If you don't like it then leave, you seem to be here quite a bit...I don't see where he's saying anything that bad anyways he probably got the definition from wikipedia

i'm not really talking about saying hi to somebody i could careless. Even though that kind of goes along the lines of a chat room. But you're right you have a freedom of speech. I have been blogging here since april...lilmomma you've only been blogging on here about a week longer than me...and cuteypops you have only been blogging about 6 months longer than me here...so really to say that you have all these big time buddies is kinda foolish and it's not really what i'm talking about in this blog and it's like whatsyourproblem said i really don't blog that much i just respond. If you can find someplace outside of my blog where i have openly critized anyone that had not criticized me let me know. This whole blog is about what mine and wikipedia's idea on what a blog is. But you kind of touch on what i talked about...by telling people to get off and stuff like that. It's not a chat room it's a blog you wanna say hi thats not what i'm talking about it's when you want to do personal attacks...i didn't attack anybody i made a bland statement saying thats it's becoming somewhat of a club the intention wasn't for anybody in particular.

Mike-from-il, i kinda noticed that too...that they haven't been here much longer than you... and 13 blogs in 6 months is hardly perez hilton...but your definition is correct.
