Baby's First Blog

Today I'm learning the what, how, and a little of the why of building a blog. As an old-school personal website dude, I've never really understood what the big deal with blogs is. Haven't people always been able to put whatever they want on their websites? What makes blogging new and different and exciting?

And what have I learned? It's easy, for one thing. Easier than HTML, easier than messing about with FTP and buying a domain and all the stuff we had to do back in '95. Are there other advantages? Five minutes in, none that I can see so far. I'll keep you posted.

THIS JUST IN: While spell-checking this post, I learned that Blogger's spell-checker doesn't recognize the words "blog," "blogs," or "blogging." Hmm.
