If you’ve been on the Internet for any length of time, you’re probably familiar with blogs (short for “web logs”). A blog is a kind of online journal—either very personal or very public—that its author updates frequently with new musings and information. What you might not know is that anyone can create a blog. It’s really quite easy, and can be quite fun. All you have to do is find a blog-hosting service and a blog creation tool—such as Blogger.

Blogger (www.blogger.com) was one of the first sites on the Web to offer free blog creation and hosting. Anyone can sign up to Blogger, for free, and within minutes create their first blog. It’s that easy.
