Tom, The internet is a weird and wonderful thing, right? You've been keeping an online journal for some time. A bit like a diary, but not every day. I've been writing a monthly paragraph or two on the home page of my web site since 1998. Changes every month, only missed three or four times. First it was on www.macads.co.uk where I ran a free classified ads site for Mac bits. I changed the welcome page every month. Now it's on cottysnaps.com and I still do it every minth, and with a different pic to boot ! I wouldn't call it a diary, or a journal. I'm not sure what I would call it, but since late 1998, that's in the order of 100 entries. These things become fashionable, call it a blog and hey - the world's your oyster ;-) People have been putting their thoughts into a 2-dimensional medium since the first cave-dweller scraped some chalk across a rock wall, or drew in the sand with a twig. All that's happening is that technology is changing and allowing readers better access. Blog is the current favourite. It's all just communication, and you either read it or you don't. I certainly don't have any blogs bookmarked, although I have read a few. But then again, if I buy a book, I tend to just look at the pictures ;-)) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
