3rd House Party: Blogging
    Blogs, or web logs, have been around for a long time. But I'm new to it and so are my friends. I've added this section to explain blogs and share what I've learned.

Blogging for dummies
There’s a good article in a recent issue of The Seattle Times on Movable Type’s new TypePad blogging software. TypePad is aimed at the new blogger, and the article introduces the wonders of blogging to the uninitiated:

For those unfamiliar with Web logs, you're missing a transformational medium in the evolution of communications. Blogs are the digital equivalent of the diary, the journal, the personal perspective, the self-advertisement, the insider commentary, the literary monograph, the family photo album, the home movie. Which is to say, they aren't any one of those things specifically, but they provide a global electronic venue for all of them.

I tried TypePad recently and liked it, but I couldn’t get it to do certain things I’m now comfortable doing with Radio. However, if I were starting out with my first weblog and I had no technical interest or ability whatsoever, I’d probably opt for TypePad.
