What is a blog?

A blog is simply a Web site operating on easy-to-use software. No special training required. Simply visit any of the free blogging services (www.blogger.com or www.wordpress.com) and start your own today. If you're the curious type, click here to understand how blogs work.

Why blog?

Parents who blog love having a record of family life online, making it easy to connect with far-flung family and friends. Blogs also archive entries automatically, creating a wonderful souvenir of your family life. If you're worried about privacy, it's possible to password-protect your blog and control who can view it.

What does a blog look like?

Blogs have functions that make them a little different, such as the ability to archive earlier blog entries. In terms of graphics, sky's the limit on how it will look. Click here for an example of a dressed-to-the-nines parenting blog.
