Blog (the same as “weblog“) - a personal or business online journal or diary shared over the web. Publishing of a blog is “blogging“. Entries in blog are called posts. Blogs are frequently updated and entries in the blog are arranged in a chronological order.

For me the exercises basic to my style of blogging - reading, writing and communicating - are all beneficial for many reasons. They range from expanding my knowledge of the Web to being able to spell beneficial without having to look it up. Writing organizes my thoughts and the entire archive of 3 years of surfing acts as a back up to my memory.
