So what's a "blog"?

Every once in a while i'll hear the word BLOG. Ambiguous words like these don't usually merit much thought and are usually passed over in conversation with all participants looking like they actually know what it means. Me Too! Never had the faintest idea til a couple of months ago when a group of chums got together (on line, of course) and were discussing a certain fairy's infatuation with a cute, just-out-of-arms-reach leprechaun. The Lep had the curious name of Frozbite (spelt wrong to protect certain identities) and one wonders just how close can a fairy get with a Lep called Frozzy, but c'est la vie. Then all of a sudden, Dory (the friendly, Fish with a highly selective memory) came on line and dived straight into the convo showing us a light (or rather switching it off totally) ... "errr, sorry fairy, I don't think so"

Fairy: WHY?

Dory: He has a blog

Cookie: WHAT?

the URL flashed across the screen and silence reigned over the IM. The Fairy starts screeching about lost hope and ladida. And voila I attained enlightenment! What is a Blog! And, of course, stories of a certain "not-so-innocent" Lep running after Trolls instead of Fairies... oops! unwanted enlightenment?
