What the heck is a Blog?

Blogs are made up of brief (one - two paragraph), frequently updated posts (messages) that are arranged chronologically.  

A blog is just a web site organized by time.  Blogs do not represent something brand new in human communication. Diaries closely resemble blogs and be traced back as far as ancient Greece.

Weblogs make the organization of the time-dimension explicit by providing a calendar through which each entry can be retrieved.

Here are some examples of things that might be posted in a Blog:

• Web site links
• Commentary about web pages that the author found interesting
• Book reviews
• Training Course reviews
• Information about articles read in trade journals
• Reports from conferences and trade shows
• Notices about industry associations
• Revelations from the authors own mind
• Daily experiences of the author
• Opinions of the author
• Notice about a new product or service
• Event announcements
• Answers to questions from readers
• Links to useful downloads

The content of the blog usually represents the thoughts and experiences of the author.

A Blog is really an ongoing conversation between the author and the readers, in this case, MaintenanceTalk.com visitors.
