After several exchanges with the owner of the Flying Chair website, I've discovered that my blog isn't really a blog. It's actually a journal.
"A person who keeps a diary or journal online is logging their life, not the web, no matter how they get their words out. So the next time someone uses "blog" as a synonym for "web diary," do both bloggers and diarists a favor and straighten them out."
Well, Phil. Do you remember that funny little movie with wossname in it. you know, and that Scarlet woman. yeah?
Blog, log. The only reason I went with blogger, at the end of the day, was because I caught it off vaya.... err nono that's not true at all. vaya's clean and so am I. I had a website once. I had to re-edit every page and re-upload them whenever I posted a new entry. Blogger's quick and dirty, and I liked the interface.
I may not write about the web, and this may not be, to the purist, a blog. I still, Gods know why, write though. And I guess that's all there is to it.
