She Blogged Me, She Blogged Me Not

For the uninitiated, blogger.com defines a Blog or Web Log as a web page made up of short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically. A website, who’s essential characteristics are its journalized form and informal writing style.

There are blogs for down-and-out Dot.comers and blogs on the war with Iraq, screensaver blogs and the not to be missed Britney Spears blogs. Not all blogs appeal to all bloggers -- and that's just the point. Blogs represent the personality of their individual author and finding your way through their labyrinth of information can be as informative as reading the entire contents of an encyclopedia in one sitting

So give it a shot….here’s a few to start out with, then let your mind be your guide. Happy Blogging! (PS….they are on no particular order…)
