Oh... why are they suddenly all the rage?

 

[Grenage]

They've always been popular, I guess people are just catching on.

It's often nice to read a personal webpage that has something about the person behind it.

I looked up 'blog' in the dictionary and it said:
"WAY TOO MUCH FREE TIME"

Actually these can be pretty interesting. I met a high school student on a plane on the way to England. She was going to India as an exchange student. I got her webpage address and read her journal every once in awhile. It's crazy what's she's experiencing, but I appreciate her posting it.

in a way blogs are like web-based personal journals.

I wrote some blog type software for the web. If I had known it was goign to take off like it did I would have released it. As of now most blogs are written in PHP, mine was ASP.

To those who lost big on the last Dot-Com bust, I suggest you sell short on any Blog software stocks. I read an article just yesterday about some company that sells blog authoring software--the article gushed about how 'hot' the stock is.

My honest guess is that the company won't exist (at least not in their current business model) in six months. I pity those who'll make the same mistake again so soon after the recent bust and put all (or any of) their money into such a company, unless you're day-trading or playing the short hops.

Why in the world would anyone pay for blog software when there is so much good free blog software out there?

IF there were more material like this in blogs, I could see them having some staying power...

What exactly does blog software do?

 

[sleipnir214]

In theory, it takes your valuable thoughts and organizes them for display online.

And you need software to do that?

 

[skotman]

Yes, I mean yeah it's easy for one person to throw their thoughts into an HTML table, but when your running a service for people who dont understand html and the link you need databases, custom code. Look at

http://www.livejournal.com

their blog software is open source written in PHP and perl with a MySQL back end I think

As skotman says, if you know a little HTML, have a good text editor, and have permission to edit files on a web server somewhere, no, you don't need any kind of specialized software.
