What does blog mean?

Well my older sister, my nephew, and my computer challenged mother all have their own blogs, so I must come into this world as well.  What in the world does blog mean any way.  It sounds kind of like you are saying you are having a blah day.  Since I am a public school teacher I pretty much never have a blah day.

Okay, as a school teacher, I had to look up what blog meant.  Here goes (in another’s words):

Short for “Web log,” a specialized site that allows an individual or group of individuals to share a running log of events and personal insights with online audiences. Blogs with political or current-events themes have grown in popularity and become “soap boxes” for instant mass-audience commentary.

Did all of the veteran bloggers out there know that?  Is blogger the correct term?

  2. Hey Bethian! I love it that you’re doing this! So cool. We aren’t really OLD dogs, but we’re learning new tricks!

  3. Dear E,
    So good to see you on the blog. It will be easier if we don’t need to try to remember whom we’ve informed. Now we can post things, once, and check blogs to see everyone’s latest news or pictures. Much simpler, Mom

  4. Hi Elizabeth, this is Lisa, Angela’s friend. Welcome to the world of blog addicts! “Blogger” is the correct word, and Angela has also turned my 9 year old daugher and 10 year old son into bloggers. She hasn’t got me yet, but I’m thinking about it.

    I think that blogging an ingenous way to share some of the random thoughts that go through our minds when we don’t or won’t tell them to someone in person. Angela has often written things on her blog and I would wonder, “Why didn’t she tell me that? I’m her best friend!” So have fun, and write away! I’ll peep in in a few weeks and see how you’re doing.

    Best regards,
    Lisa
