Lately it seems like everyone and their mom has a blog of somesort - and I was thinking y'all must be part of that culture too. So, we should post them all in one place and check out the World Of Blogs. I happen to have two - a Livejournal and a Fotolog. Cause you know we all need more to look at on the Internet!

Anyway, please post em if you got em. I am curious!

How sad. It's basically just a place where people post daily (or semi-daily) comments and thoughts, etc. Some blogs I like are,

www.pamie.com
www.hashai.com/blog
www.dooce.com

Can someone answer a question for me? How do you make link a persons name to an actual link. Like if I wanted to have "Emily" link to www.fotolog.net/emily_rainbow - how do I do that??

I wasn't being serious. Mostly I meant SAD b/c you didn't know what I was talking about. Not LITERALLY sad.

Many are fun to read, but probably for the wrong reasons. Chances are you will sit in amazement wondering why the author thinks anyone would want to read it.

I think you're sad HPM.
These photo jobbies. Can you just post pictures there and not have to update them, cos I need somewhere to host some stuff and I can't be bothered with working out how to use the free webspace from my ISP.
Any sites which'll do this for me?

You're right I am sad.

Sad that I will probably die alone.

so many people seem to have blogs now, all seems a bit "look at my problems, i don't have friends in real life, please be my friend and take pity on me and feel sorry for me" kinda thing... most are so dull. some are funny, but most are moaning teenagers who hate their parents and feel alone.

i'm not nasty, just hanging around on project rockstar, it's full of the miserable parent-hating-they-don't-understand-me-i'm-a-rock-kid-with-no-friends-i'm-so-alternative-and-different twats.

In forum code it should be..

(url="www.fotolog.net/emily_rainbow" target="_blank">http://www.fotolog.net/emily_rainbow")Emily(/url)

* Replace all curley brackets "()" with square ones "[]"

and in HTML..

<a href="http://www.fotolog.net/emily_rainbow">Emily</a>

The best blogs are by people who have no friends or life. You know it's going to be good when they tell you to return often because they will update it daily. Then the entries get farther and farther apart. Finally their hit counter reveals no one is reading or cares about their minutiae and they give up completely.

I like my blog. And I don't complain about my life (well, not too much) - I just write about it. I also don't really care if anyone reads it. Mostly I think I am using it as a writing excersize, it forces me to write about SOMETHING.

Thanks for the code, Bish! My best friend is a programmer, so I called her and asked.

Well, some people do share some really personal information on their blogs. Then again, some people share what I would consider to be really personal information on this forum, so I guess it's largely a matter of perspective. Most of what I write isn't all that personal. I do my fair share of writing about what I do and complaining about stuff, but it's not, like, a record of my innermost thoughts and feelings or whatever. A lot of my entries are about TV shows and music. I'm sure most of it is really boring, but it's not really like a diary.

I'm largely the same way in terms of writing to keep in practice, but I do want people to read it. I like attention.

But "blog" is short for "weblog," and isn't a journal pretty much the same thing as a log?

By the way, my blog is at http://vovat.blogspot.com, and my livejournal is at http://www.livejournal.com/users/vovat. It's usually the same stuff in both.

No, a journal is very different from a log. =P

Well, a log is made of wood, but a journal is generally made of paper, so...I'm not really sure where I'm going with this.
