Darryl Hart provides his perspective of what a blog is, and what it isn’t
A blog – at least as I read them and participate in several – is somewhere between a Facebook page and an editorial in a magazine. Blogging is almost entirely personal since the author is his own editor in most cases; no editorial staff or marketing department oversees the writing. A blog is also a forum for thinking out loud – “here is something I read or observed, and I thought I’d write about it and see what readers think.” Magazines are in themselves ephemeral. I used to save old copies of magazines but soon gave up after several moves not only owing to sloth (or declining strength as aging happens) but also because highlighted articles were not as pertinent at the time of the move as they were when saved. If magazines lack permanency, blogs do so even more.
In which case readers, readers should not take a blog too seriously.
This doesn’t mean that what is written on a blog doesn’t matter, or that the writer can’t be called to account.
But it is a forum to develop ideas as much as it is to finally record them.
A conversation, even if it seems that sometimes we’re just muttering to ourselves.
