I feel very green asking this but can you explain to me what is the purpose of blogs? I always thought web logs were online/public journals, but the ones here look like writing samples... ? Is it subjective - does each individual decide how to use your own blog?
I have never blogged before and have only ever seen blogs when looking over other people's shoulders... help  |

Blogs are a new feature (so I don't have one, I've kept to the old "journal" format)
Being a BT member automatically gives you the right to have a blog at BT. They look really nice, have a look at other member's blogs.
I think all you ned to do is write Chris and ask for a blog. |

| Actually, you don't have to ask for one at all. Just click on the "My Blog" link in the left sidebar and you'll be able to set up your own blog. |

Yes, it's up to you to decide how you want to use your blog
I hope you have fun creating your blog.  |
