Ok, one of you computer whizzes, just what is a BLOG? Is it something I should avoid in order to keep my Police record clear? Or is something that I must absolutely must have?

BLOG... short for WebLog. They are pretty much just message boards in the form of like a journal.

Here's a list of a bunch of Blogs that lean a bit toward political. They will give you an idea of what a Blog is all about. Also, I think Ryan has a Blog now. Check out his sigline.

One of the oldest blogs is http://www.scripting.com

You can get a free one at http://www.blogger.com
If you have the http://toolbar.google.com from Google, it makes it simple to maintain your blog from your browser (Google bought blogger)

A good all round blog is http://www.theshiftedlibrarian.com by Jenny Levine.

A community blog: http://www.metafilter.com/ (endlessly fascinating)

A directory of wonderful things: http://www.boingboing.net/

Drudge report: http://www.drudgereport.com/

Top Weblogs: http://www.daypop.com/blogrank/ (slow lately)

A family blog: http://www.tongfamily.com (gadgets galore)

Blogs are like one person diaries, soap boxes or printing presses without paper. Essential to have if you want or need a voice on the 'net.
