What is a weblog?

I seem to get a lot of people asking me the good old “What is a weblog?” question.

The best answer I’ve found so far is the entry for weblog in wikipedia. Says it all, in a few different levels of detail.

  1. I like it. It has a nice air of eidetic clarity. On the other hand, it says very little about social practice of blogging, which is also very important.

  3. BTW, I just had a big string of errors from your wp-blacklist plugin. It might be a bit stuffed.

  5. Okay, I worked this out. Just go to WP-blacklist, search blank for all entries and delete the ones with ” in them. For more info, see http://sm.farook.org/WPBlacklist.htm

  9. I was wondering about this - it seems like my installation goes wrong without me even touching it. Which makes me think that they’re sending corrupt URLs into my site to be harvested by the blacklist, thus breaking it… out of spite. Maybe. If this doesn’t post through properly, I’ll know I’m right.
