blogs

What exactly are blogs? Blogs, shorthand for "web logs," are defined by the folks at Wikipedia as web sites which are "usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog."

There are many ways to create blogs. Several companies help make it easy to set one up, including popular platforms such as Blogger, WordPress, and TypePad. Also, there are many places to find specialized lists of blogs. These include CNET, Globe of Blogs, and The New York Times.

Users can also use several specialized search engines to find blogs or posts they are interested in viewing. These entities include Blogdigger, Icerocket, and, of course, Technorati!

• Mike Ashley Short-Changes Newcastle United Away Fans

  
  — Authority:
  A match that could cost Newcastle their Premier League place and tens of millions of pounds minimum if the drop happened and yet they are so short-sighted as to not take the full allocation, unbelievable. As a comparison, Arsenal had 2,987 supporters for their match at Loftus Road last week...and w 22 Vote(s)

• Benitez Or Pardew?

  
  — Authority:
  Obviously none of know for sure what did happen but would Pardew be that idiotic to think by keeping the same squad apart from releasing the likes of Lovenkrands, Best and Guthrie, to think that it would be strong enough to cope with the league and three cup competitions? I dont think so. Also, do 9 Vote(s)

  Despite Liverpools protestations, Carroll clearly has no (playing) future at Anfield and at some point the scousers/Americans have to accept a major hit on the £35m that they and Kenny Dalglish (best thing he ever did for us!) paid to Mike Ashley. 15 Vote(s)
