 Blogs are more permanent than
posts to an online discussion list, more dynamic
than older-style home pages. They are more personal
than traditional journalism, and definitely more
public than diaries. A blog is often a mixture of
what is happening in a person's life and what is
happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary site.
So, there are as many unique types of blogs as there
are people.
Blogs enable interaction and invite others to reward
a person’s creative effort with feedback. They
weave new social networks, introducing people with
common passions. Another reason why one should start
blogging is dissemination of
"micro-opinions" important to a small
audience – opinions that would never make it in
newspapers.
Weblogs, definitely, are the mavericks of the online
world. Two of its greatest strengths are their
ability to filter and disseminate information to a
widely dispersed audience, and their position
outside the mainstream of mass media.
The XHTML family can accommodate extensions through
XHTML modules and techniques to develop new XHTML-conforming
modules. These modules permit the combination of
existing and new feature sets when developing
content and when designing new user agents.
With so many different ways to access the Internet,
the XHTML family is designed keeping in mind the
general user agent interoperability. Through
document profiling mechanism, servers, proxies, and
user agents are able to create best effort content
transformation. This language is both RSS and XML
conforming. The content can be readily viewed,
edited, and validated with standard XML tools. XHTML
documents can utilize applications (e.g. scripts and
applets) that rely upon either the HTML Document
Object Model or the XML Document Object Model.
InstaBlog

InstaBlog appeared as a result of two things:
responding to the simplest possible way to maintain
a weblog, and trying out the extremely cool Perl MSN
IM client. InstaBlog functions in the following
manner: it is run as a background process on a
machine with Internet access. With its own Passport
identification it is constantly logged into the MSN
instant messenger service.
