Look at me, I have a Blog!

Written by Rolf

So I decided to start a blog. Is this even called a blog? What is the official definition of a blog? Let's ask Wikipedia.

"A blog (a contraction of the term "weblog") is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order.

A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs."

"As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs."

No, I would never dress up my dog like this. Even if I had such a specimen.
Yes, this picture is irrelevant, but I used it for the logo

"The personal blog, an ongoing diary or commentary by an individual, is the traditional, most common blog. Personal bloggers usually take pride in their blog posts, even if their blog is never read by anyone but them. Blogs often become more than a way to just communicate; they become a way to reflect on life or works of art. Blogging can have a sentimental quality."

Update: Reading this, two and a half years later, I wonder what rank it started out with and how it has been rising over time. Not much, of course, but I regret not keeping track of it. So here goes, starting now:
February 2012: 27,828,256 (links in: 9)
March 2012: 12,777,495 (links in: 9)
April 2012: 8,377,673 (links in: 9)
May 2012: 7,539,785 (links in: 9)

And yes, I do seem to care that no one reads it.
