What is a WebLog/Blog?

A Blog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts, arranged chronologically-like a journal. The content and purposes of Blogs varies greatly, from links and commentary about other web sites, to news about a company/person/idea, to diaries, photos, poetry, mini-essays, project updates, even fiction. Blog posts are like instant messages to the web.
Use your Blog to:
Instantly publish an online journal or diary!
Constantly update your family and friends
Provide your own professional news service!
Live interaction with your friends and fans
Broadcast your own radio style announcements!
Share your favorite topics and hobbies with the world

Our service, allows you to create a Blog easily and publish to the web instantly … whenever the urge strikes. We provide an easy to use tool in the rapidly growing area of web publishing known as weblogs, or Blogs.

Why create a WebLog/Blog?

"Private,
No Advertising Banners,
No Software To Download and Install."
Because, it's the quickest and easiest way to create a web site for yourself or your group. Your Blog allows you to publish content of your choosing to the world, instantly. Setting a Blog up is simple and can be done in less than 3 minutes. Without knowing any programming, you can create and maintain your Blog easily. Many Blogs are personal, "what's on my mind" type musings. Others are collaborative efforts based on a specific topic or area of mutual interest. Some Blogs are for play. Some are for work. Some are both. Blogs are excellent team/department/company/family communication tools. You can use Blogs to allow team members to post related links, files, quotes, or commentary. Set up a family Blog where relatives can share personal news or perhaps you have an audience that is interested in your thoughts, work, accomplishments, etc.. you could even use a Blog to publish and keep updated your personal resume or maybe a group of resumes....

How do I add content, i.e. Publish to my Blog?

A Blog allows you to instantly post and update information to the Internet, without any special software knowledge. You may want to set your blog up so that only you can post to it, or you may want to add a section where you allow your visitors to post messages also.
