This document discusses blogs and their purpose. It asks questions about whether the reader has a blog or follows any blogs, and if blogs contain reliable information. The main purpose of blogging is explained - when the World Wide Web began, it was promised that regular people would have some of the power of the press to not only search information but add information. Readers are asked if regular people should be able to add information to the internet or if it should be restricted. Finally, groups are instructed to create a new blog by considering its subject, index page, target audience, and name.
