When Perseus Publishing asked me to write a book on weblogs, I laughed. A book about weblogs? Everything you need to know is on the web!
so…. what changed your mind Rebecca? Fame? Fat pay check? The desire to publish? Hmm…. (spoken while striking a moderately contemplative pose, hand on chin, eyes slightly narrowed.)

Nobody loves the Web more than we do. But we’re not blind to its shortcomings. IPO Fever. Browser incompatibilities. Horrific design on a global scale. But that’s not the worst of it. The worst of it is the pathetic scarcity of meaningful content.
And what do many Web creators substitute for content? Diary entries.
Yikes, could this be true??

Yikes - could this be true??
In the latest versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, and Mozilla (the Open Source, Gecko-based browser whose code drives Netscape Navigator, CompuServe, and other browsing environments), carefully constructed layouts have begun falling apart and expensively engineered behaviors have stopped working. As these leading browsers evolve, site performance continues to deteriorate.

The Persistant Confidante?? - is this for real!!
Have you ever had a personal conflict which you needed to share or confess? Have you ever felt the need to share with others a part of you which was very private? Do you often long to live vicariously through the most exciting confessions of people you’ve never met, possessing values and lifestyles you may not completely understand? Have you ever sought out an anonymous contact or forum with persons who share such cravings?

Welcome to The Caption Machine - as funny as you are.. The idea is, you click on an image to add your own captions to the pictures, or read what others have posted. If you have a picture that you think would fit in, upload it. Woo…

In 1998 there were just a handful of sites of the type that are now identified as weblogs (so named by Jorn Barger in December 1997). Jesse James Garrett, editor of Infosift, began compiling a list of “other sites like his” as he found them in his travels around the web. In November of that year, he sent that list to Cameron Barrett. Cameron published the list on Camworld, and others maintaining similar sites began sending their URLs to him for inclusion on the list. Jesse’s ‘page of only weblogs’ lists the 23 known to be in existence at the beginning of 1999.

When Hans Friedrich gets up in the morning, he does what lots of folks do: He grabs a cup of coffee and reads the news. But Friedrich isn’t at the breakfast table. He’s sitting at his computer reading other people’s blogs.
A blog (short for “Web log”) is a cross between a personal diary and a list of links to articles on the Web. Internet users have created thousands of them, and anyone surfing the Web can read them. They have names like Eddie’s Head, Fresh Hell and Jaundiced Eye, and can be serious, irreverent or trivial.

Caslon Analytics profile: web logs and blogging
Posted 23/09/2002 under what is a weblog? •
This page [Blog profile] supports the DIY page in our Electronic Publishing guide. It discusses web logs (often referred to as blogs or bloggs and published by bloggers).
They’re an illustration of claims that on the web every man (or dog) can be his own publisher ... and the corollary that being able to publish does not mean being able to write well or be readily found by readers at large.
The following pages cover
blogging - a typology of web logs, software and questions about audiences
issues - questions about the identification of blogs, ‘new journalism’, defamation and censorship
