collaborative space. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world.

• In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new. Then they can comment on it or link to it or email you etc.
