There are probably still people out there who think that blogging is another ‘here today gone tomorrow’ phenomena - although there’s not likely to be many of them when you consider the number of blogs that are started daily.

But if you ignore the word ‘blog’ and consider what is actually happening, you see millions of people actively engaged in on-line publishing.  And while it may be the case many blogs, perhaps the vast majority, are no more than cyber-narcissism, there are many others that offer useful insight and comment.  Blogging is rapidly democratising the media. 

But more than that, the tools used for blogging such as WordPress  have moved beyond simple ‘web logs’ or diaries, and have become much more powerful publishing tools.  The ability to add static pages, photo albums, calendars and so on, blurs the difference between blogging software and content management systems.
