The Blob: Ciaran's Journal
Welcome to my journal. This is where I'll be revealing my innermost thoughts and feelings to the world. Occasionally I'll talk about other stuff, but mostly about my experiences. Apr 15, 2002: Blogs or journals? (link | trackback: 0) Time: 14:16 - Mood: Thoughtful - Location: Home - Now playing: n/a After I read a web page on diarist.net explaining the difference between blogs and journals, I've updated this CGI to show what it really is - a journal. I even went so far as to change the filename from "blog.cgi" to "journal.cgi", although I also set up a redirect so you should still get to this page even if you use the old name. :) So what is the difference? Well, apparently blogs tend to focus more on things that happen outside the author's life, whereas journals focus more on the author and his/her thoughts and feelings. The term "blog", of course is an abbreviated form of "web log", ie. a log of web sites that the author finds interesting. The term's expanded a bit since that original definition, which is why it's hard to distinguish between blogs and journals sometimes. But this is definitely a journal more than a blog, so... it's done. :) God bless! [back to main screen] |
