This is a blog.
The term
"blog" is a contraction of "Web log."
A blog is a website where
entries are made in journal
style and displayed in a reverse chronological order.
Blogs often provide commentary or
news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some
function as more personal online
diaries.
A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages,
and other media related to its topic. Most blogs are primarily textual
although some focus on photographs (photoblog), videos (vlog),
or audio (podcasting), and are part of
a wider network of social media.
The term "blog" is a
contraction of "Web log." "Blog" can also be used as a
verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Here is one of my favorite passages from that Wikipedia article:
ReplyDelete"Personal blogs
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. 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. Few personal blogs rise to fame and the mainstream but some personal blogs quickly garner an extensive following."
I sort of look at a Blog as place where we introverts can have our say in the world and hopefully no one notices!
You do have a lovely one.
My thanks.
ReplyDeleteI had one that was what kept me alive.
It was a communication for my children as well, in the event I passed.
It was my trying to communicate to a very small core what I did, and where I was.
It was both my art.
And my space.
Shared.
My own kind of sacred space.
Like a public garden.
