What is a BLOG anyway?

Frankly, I don't understand all the hype over BLOGs. It seems like a nice way for people to post messages, journals or personal opinions. I guess I just never realized that so many people feel the need to tell the world every minute detail of their lives.
Well, now that it's up and running, I guess I'll have to use it from time to time. I think I might post ACN news and events or interesting training materials I find. I'll probably also use this to update readers on new additions to my FTP site so if you're here for either of those things enjoy!
Have fun!
