Blogging+Tools

Overview
[|Wikipedia] defines a blog as follows: "A **weblog** (usually shortened to **blog**, but occasionally spelled web log or weblog) is a web-based publication consisting primarily of articles, most often in reverse chronological order."

Blogging is the posting of journal-like pages to a website. These pages can contain photos or media, but mainly focus on written thoughts posted to a website. The postings are organized chronologically. Typically, a blog "post" can be "commented" on by others, allowing for discussion on the topic.

Communication is the key to blogging. A blogger reflects on their experience and writes about it. Other people read your reflections and comment on it. You read their ideas, comment on their perspective then write some more.
