OK, this might sound stupid

But what is a "blog" and why is it called that? I'm guessing its a write up of sorts about/of/from the website subject, but why "blog"????

And how do you do bold, italics, change fonts etc etc on this board? Should you do html code?

A blog is an 'online diary' There are many websites that supply this 'blogging' service. So it automatically gives the date and visitors can post comments on what you've written. Generally they use templates for you to design your layout. They have blogs at 1sound.com

And yeah a few months ago I didn't know what a blog was!! hahaha I also think they are pretty egotistical - hahahahahaa Unless you are a good/funny/interesting writer! Of course you don't have to write about yourself. You can write about anything. The most interesting one I saw was the Iraqi blog during the war.

Yr other question - just above this comment box I type in is a few squares with "B" or "I" or " nderline">U" in them - you highlight the text and click those buttons. Plus next to this comment box is a link called "Using ezPost" which can give you a few other tips!!

<<but why "blog"????>>

It's a contraction of sorts, Debbie: "web log" = blog.

LOL. that's how I see most of 'em! In most cases I think people should get a personal diary to keep instead.

<<The most interesting one I saw was the Iraqi blog during the war.>>

I think that's the "Dear Raed" (reads the same backwards) blog? There's been speculation about wether he was a hoax or not. Hard to tell in the cyberworld where people can be anyone they want. Here's a link to probably the most recent news story on the mysterious fellow:
