Another approach is the Web log, or "blog," a phenomenon which has attracted hundreds of thousands of self-publishers looking for an easy way to create sites that can be updated with text and pictures but require little or no technical know-how. "Blogging has made a huge difference in the ability of ordinary people to publish," said O'Reilly, publisher of the nuts-and-bolts guide to blogging entitled "Essential Blogging." For non-techies, Blogger (http://www.blogger.com) or LiveJournal (http://www.livejournal.com) allows Web writers to set themselves up on the Web for free, with additional features available for a fee. Radio UserLand (http://radio.userland.com/), another popular blogging tool, comes with a free 30-day trial and costs $39.95 to purchase. MoveableType is a fourth such blog software alternative. But not all blog software is easy to set up, users say.
