[WWI] Befuddled in blogland

[Rob Stewart]

Hi,

It it short for "Web log".

I guess it was intended as an online journaling tool.

I have one, and I, too am at a bit of a loss for content.  It takes time....

I think it's a great tool for build articles, where you can post pics of 
where you are and people can comment or suggest things that you can 
actually incorporate, rather than get the comments at the end, and you 
just need to use on your next build.

The trouble is, you have to stop building, take pics, upload them then 
write the article, add the pics, tell people you have posted, wait a few 
days for comments.....

There was a guy a few weeks ago who has one, also.  I can't remember his 
name, but he had done LvR's DR.1.  I think he was from Argentina. 
Apologies if I'm wrong.

I see the list as really more of a forum than a blog (Think Hyperscale 
or The Areodrome).  A blog is personal, with other people commenting. In 
a forum, or the list, anyone can start a thread.
