Blogs & Blogging

I am new to this phenomena we call blogging, and I think if I had more spare time I would actually enjoy posting, commenting and reading blogs. Especially if I were to follow blogs that are relevant to my work as an artist and musician, or my interest in horses,etc. Blogging seems to be a good way to share ideas, photos and videos with others who have an interest in the same subject/hobby as yourself. Other bloggers may have useful information, tips, techniques and such to share/ discuss or amuse us.


Blogs are not just used for this purpose (as a type of public journal), Blogs are now attached to many main stream media programs allowing viewers to input comment or share their opinions on an international level, something that was possible in the past but alot slower to actually be received and commented upon. The issue would be old news, where as it is now live an instant while the issue is still new and relevant.

The general population is able to express their freedom of speech right instantly and internationally through not only blogs but other online applications such as forums and social networks, etc. I think that in general this is a good thing but as usual there will always be the odd killjoy who will misuse the applications for some self satisfying delusional objective or to fulfill some personal inadequacy.

Anyway, back to the topic 'blogs'.

They are easy to set up, publish on, comment upon and follow. They are a great way for individuals to publish their ideas, thoughts and literary work and best of all it's free.
