I think very highly of what I think. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, I choose to think that you will, too. And that is the essence of blogging.

“Blog” is short for “weblog.” According to Wikipedia as of today:

“Weblogs are often-updated sites that point to articles elsewhere on the web, often with comments, and to on-site articles. A weblog is kind of a continual tour, with a human guide who you get to know.”

This is a very charitable description. Most blogs are egotistical paeans to their author, with little of value or interest to anyone other than the author and perhaps the author's dog.

Hard to believe I didn’t get into this earlier.
