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 Social networking website, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new.
