what in the blue fuck is a blog, blogging, blogger ... im sorry i thought i could live without knowing since i only hear the word every blue moon, but now they are talking about it on the news and i feel like a total retard

Blogging is a way of collecting links to sites one would visit often and making comments about them for others to read. Sort of a log or diary.

Hope this clears it up for you :)

A blog is a "web log", originally a kind of diary posted to the web.

Since the creation of blogging software like Moveable Type, it's become something more, let's call it more like a journal posted daily or weekly to the net.

It's become the medium of choice for amateur pundits, so it's in the news a lot now.

There's lots of different types of blogs. I like metafilter and boing boing for daily news.

You also have semi infamous blogs like the now defunct washintoniennes blog, where this capitol clerk talked about having anal sex with bigwigs for money.

It's just an online journal. Check out www.blogger.com if you want to start your own. ;)
