Blog Feature

[Flyandtie1]

I just have to say that The blog feature is totally awesome!!!

I encourage any and all to blog! Just try it once!

Anyway, just had to show some appreciation for the new feature.

I agree, the Board is a great place to ask a question. The Blog is a great place to make a statement, brag, stand on the soapbox, and just blow off steam. Basicly anything that doesnt require an answer. I don't know how people blog everyday, its like writing a column for you local paper.

A new quote for the bottom of my posts just occurred to me.
"I got this way by being stupid, what's your excuse"?
Now to the topic at hand: I thought a bulletin board was a blog. Now I have to ask the stupid question. What is a blog, if it isn't a bulletin board. Render some aid to suffering (challenged) humanity please.

"A Blog", per se' is really nothing more that "One's own on line diary, written usually first person, extolling the writer's personal opinions, thoughts, ideas, dreams,etc.
Some, are even "private" and not available to be read by anyone but the author, or perhaps, a few very close friends.
In short, "A Blog" is "an electronic soap box".
"A Forum", is an open media, geared to general discussions, questions and answers, sharing of ideas and thoughts, among (usually), like minded people interested in a given subject, and/or, topic.
That's my take, on the two anyway!

Thanks flybinder,
I'd hate to think of fading into the sunset without that little bit of information. I can check that one off my bucket list.

Well I thought I might take a stab at being a blogger. Can someone give me the pros and cons of allowing others to put comments on my blog or not? Also what it an Akismet key? Is it a secret password or some special key on the keyboard? I feel like I'm being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century bit by bit or is that byte by byte?
Thanks for any help.

PS I really liked your blog flybinder. Thanks for the encouragement. The way I like to gab my blog could become larger than faol!
