I can't even describe how out of touch I am with certain things.  One of them is blogging.
Can some kind soul describe to me what it is?  I have a couple of friends tell me that I should start one.
What is it?  How do you start one?  Is it like a discussion board?  How does it get accessed?  
I signed up for one on Google, but hell if I know what to do with it.
Any kind of advice is appreciated.
I tried looking up info on it, but the info usually takes for granted that the person reading it already knows all about blogging...
