So what is a blog?

A blog (web log) is a type of website, or part of a website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, etc. Entries are typically listed in reverse-chronological order and can be interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments unlike other static websites.
As SPRA members this is your website and if we are to have a useful blog site we need regular bloggers and visitor comments.  I am prepared to give it a try and kick this off with “a thought for the week”, at least until others come along with better ideas.                                            
Of course by doing this I become “a blogger” – a title which as a child my grandmother often gave me, but at the time it was generally mistaken for an expletive.
