Blogs are reshaping the Web, impacting
politics, shaking up
journalism, and enabling millions
of people to have a voice and
connect with others.

A blog is an easy-to-use Web site,
where you can quickly post your
thoughts, interact with people, and
more.
A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit.
A collaborative space. A political
soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A
collection of links. Your own private
thoughts. Memos to the world.
Your blog is whatever you want it to
be. There are millions of them, in all
shapes and sizes, and there are no real
rules.
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 comment on it, or link to
it, or e-mail you, or not.
It's easy and free !!
Anyone with access to an Internet
browser and e-mail address can have
their own blog for free. If you can use
a browser and fill in online forms, then
you can operate your own blog. You
don’t have to learn HTML. You don’t
have to learn how to design, code,
build and manage a Web site. You just
need to have some information and/
or thoughts that you would like to
There are numerous free blog management
and hosting options
available on the Internet. Many have
extremely easy to use browser interfaces.
The one I use and recommend is
Blogger, at <http://www.blogger.com>.
Blogger was started by Pyra Labs in
August of 1999. In February 2003,
Pyra Labs was acquired by Google. So
there is a fair chance that Blogger will
be around for quite some time. Indeed,
Blogger has gone ahead in leaps
and bounds since getting the resources
of Google behind it.

The first step to your own blog
If you have an account with an
Internet Service Provider (ISP) such as
Melb PC, chances are that you already
have, or have rights to, some Web
hosting space, and all of the resources
you need to setup your own Web site
and/or blog. However, most people
don’t utilise these resources and don’t
set up either a Web site and/or a blog
because of the learning curve they
fear is involved.
There is a fair bit to learn if you do
want to build your own Web site in
any of the traditional ways. But there
is almost nothing to learn if you want
just a blog, or are prepared to use a
blog as your Web site home page, as
thousands of people do.
Even if you don’t have Web site space
available from your ISP, there are many
providers like Blogger who have an
option where they will host your blog
for you. So now you have no excuse
not to get started.
Your first step is to simply decide that
you want to have a blog, and then
point your browser to <http://www.
blogger.com>.
