Blogs and Blogging

So just what is a blog? Simply put, "blog" is short for web log, a sort of online diary. With that said, blogging has evolved making it difficult to fix a static definition on it. Blogging is a free, organic collaboration of ideas and information consisting of news, photo albums, opinions, FAQs, portfolios, etc. blogNation blogs are powered by Tucows Blogware, the next generation of blog software.
