"Blogs" are short for Weblogs they are like online diarys. Some one has there blog they post a message and people read it and make comments about.

I can send you a really good artical about it if you want contact me offline ( just click my user name).

Also you might want to use the search questions funtion of the site.

Just to add a small note on blogs.

Blogs, are, I believe, a useful way to improve site ranking, and any URL within a blog is still classed as a link to a particular site, and hence improves popularity.

You can learn about blogs, and I believe you can set up a free blog at:

We recently considered a blog for more customer/prospect interaction. One thing to consider is how are you going to control content. For example, it can be pretty easy to have disgruntled customers or competition bash your company on the blog if you allow fairly open access. The flip side is you don't want to "Big Brother" the conversation. One idea is for you to establish the high level topics and have people respond.

Also you might want to read this article about the slightly darker side of blogs:

also in my earlier answer I copied the wrong link. here are some direct links to past questions:

there are many more articles on this site about blogs, just use the search box at the top of the page. Also there is a wonderful seminar about blogs in the premium member library.
