Thanks Mike,

I'm still wondering what the purpose is? I think it's my age, because I'm
just not getting it?

A blog is a "weB LOG". They started out as online personal diaries,
and grew into something related, but altogether different. A moblog,
or mblog, is a MOBILE blog, where entries are made by users on-the-go
using their cell phones and other portable hardware. mblogs tend to be
more off-the-cuff and on-the-fly because of their nature.

People blog about many things these days, including some blogs that are
daily pictures taken by photographers, random blatherings, to more
serious news-quality opinion pieces.

For a more in-depth description of blogging, read this blog entry:

Regards,

Mike
