July 31, 2009 - Blog Me a River

This morning I worked on the ‘about me’ intro to my blog and navigated through various blog blogs for a better understanding of how it all works.
But what exactly is this blog universe I have so wholeheartedly adapted as my second home?

Word Origin & History

blog
1998, short for weblog... from (World Wide) Web + log.
