Could someone explain Blogs to me...

Hi,

You've explained why you prefer to type (and I presume on a computer rather than mess around with paper, etc.) rather than to hand write.  That probably holds true for the majority of computer users. So what?  You could type into a text editor or a word processor.  Why type *online*?  Specifically, why type where the world can see it?

Because it's not worth doing if you don't get recognition for it? :)

(I've never heard of this "blog" thing myself, but I imagine from reading this thread, that it has to do with issuing some sort of paper on things that matter to *you*? If that's the case, what's the difference between a blog and your run-of-the-mill forum-thread? Also "blog" means the same as "fart" in some Norwegian dialects, both verb and noun.)
