Blog day one

Welcome to our new Blog. What is a blog?

Blog = A Blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a Blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a Blog is a "Blogger." Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the Blog. Postings on a Blog are almost always arranged in chronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominently.

Bloggers have had recent news with the Rather-Gate scandal. It was the Bloggers who questioned the authenticity of the CBS papers and caused the media to investigate further. What I have seen is mostly just online journaling. You can see and read all about a person. Usually some pretty intimate stuff, that I can't imagine telling to a best friend and yet they have it available to the world.

I was thinking of an art site where we could journal together. Anyone in our group could log-on and give an opinion on art, add creative thoughts, share an epiphany or just wax eloquent (but no bikini waxing.) Kind of like a permanent collection of shared thoughts. Like for instance, wouldn't it have been great if we could have some of Bev's thoughts from her French experience down in writing. Then our reactions and comments to her experience. Doesn't it sound like something that would be an encouragement to all of us. Anytime you felt like sharing something you could or if you needed a little creative boost you could read current or past entries. It would be better than email in that it would be archival (you can see all the threads) and would be an ongoing dialogue. I see it as a continuation of our meetings. It is easier to write than to meet more often, especially when Bev is in AZ or Jacque is traveling.
