I visit a lot of blogs, mostly technical but some political and economic.

A good political one, if you like to keep an eye on the American political scene is http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com.

When you see new words on the web, go to http://www.google.com or http://www.dictionary.com type it in and see what you get back. The great thing about the web is that it lets you research these things for yourself.

Give it a try now.

I believe in teaching people how to fish, not in giving them fish.

well..I didnt know much about blogging until that guy SALAM PAX(the baghdad blogger) came into being ..you know back in time when Bush and Blair were insisting on presenceof WMD in Iraq while Hans Blix had their own theiry on the other hand at the same time ISG also came up with theirown theory...u knowit was the time whenthat song WHERE IS THE LOVE WAS A HITand not Bob Dylan's MASTERS OF WAR..times when COLIN POWEL wascool with his POWER POINTspecial effectsat UN whileIraq's Information ministerMuhammed al-Sahaf was the one man show in Baghdad butmajority of themedia outside Iraq were hooked up withSALAM PAX..and after sadam fell he wrote a book which went on to be a best seller.

Now every one is blogging ..heard that people who nearly brought down DanRather @CBS with those BUSH military records were infact Bloggers,now I wanna know are they really that ruthless with information and if so do u think they are better sourced than the current media?

Are there any black bloggers around?..I could have gone to ask google but then I thought it would be better if I asked the village.

A blog which is short for web log...is an online journal or diary.

Just do a google for "free blog", probably hundreds will show up. Them probably won't be to great or feature filled if they are free.

If you want anything more advanced you will either need to get some web hosting or run your own server (not as complex as it sounds)
