Blogs, Blogging and Bloggers.....

For the New Kids on the Blog!!! .... like me

A weblog can be loosely defined as a journal or diary which is published on the World Wide Web. The process of updating and maintaining a weblog is known as blogging and the author is known as a blogger. Weblogs are usually updated at regular intervals using user-friendly software that requires little or no technical background.
The rate of growth of blogging has been astounding. According to
Technorati there are currently (early 2006) there are now over 26 million weblogs in existence. They reckon that:
The blogosphere (ie: the weblog universe) doubles in size about every 5.5 months.
A new weblog is created roughly every second and there are over 80,000 weblogs created daily.
About 55% of all weblogs are active.
About 13% of all weblogs are updated at least weekly.

I'm sure you will find this Wikibook about Blogs, very helpful if you want to become a blogger.

That's interesting, and what's better from blogging is that people can express themselves more easily.

I truly enjoy being a blogger.
