....Common Elements of a BlogThere have been quite a few online shouting matches over what elements every blog should have to be considered a blog. Let’s just say that the following are common elements of a blog (though they don’t show up on every blog, including this very one):..
***************
Online Journalism Review — a publication where I once wrote a column — has a great roundup of blog services, complete with side-by-side comparison chart . OJR mentions some popular options such as Blogger, TypePad and WordPress .
However, the article doesn’t mention some popular blog communities such as LiveJournal , MSN Spaces , Yahoo 360 or AOL Journals — all of which are free. Note that these communities offer more personal blog spaces, more like MySpace , than the services such as Blogger or TypePad, where more professionals self-publish.

Two things for you and your readers:
a- I have a blog as an ARCHIVE of what I like and noted on the web.
I am not keen on writing.
b-One blogging tool seldom mentioned is AOL.. The handling of pictures there, is very efficient.
nice for small slide show.

Thanks again for your excellent post. I appreciated because I am a novice blogger.

I sell software online. Selling software at Best Buy gets you, perhaps, 40% of every sale, and they won't even think of doing it at the number of units I sell. Unless its to guffaw. Shelf space is limited and projects have to be made on the scales of minor nation states.
On the Internet, startup costs are negligible (I had capital investment of $60), and if you've got an aggregator which has a nation-state scale worth of eyeballs (*cough* Google *cough*) then you can pay them a weeee bit of money to send a sliver of those eyeballs over to you. Transactional costs amount to almost nothing: Paypal takes 4% of every sale. If you count the cost of AdWords, that comes out to 20%, but thats still a third of the traditional retail channel and AdWords scales *down* where retail only scales *up*. You might not think there is that much of a market for a one-screen application that makes reading bingo cards for teachers (www.bingocardcreator.com), but way-down-the-tail made $600 gross, $450 net. Not too terrible for an app which took a man-week to write and, literally, 20 minutes of work in September ("Lost your registration key? No problem, have a new one." "No, thank YOU, Ethel." multiplied by handful of emails).
The other beneficiaries besides me? Google (Adwords), Paypal, and Uncle Sam. They'll get $90, $30, and $lots respectively as a result of September, all for doing zero marginal work: they just let the computer systems/country they established continue to operate, and they get more money.

But as Matt Welch noted at the beginning of this, many of us once felt such promise for this medium, especially in how it contrasted to the major mass media, and the world of politics. But today, it’s in those two general areas that I see some of blogdom’s biggest disappointments.
For those who wish editorial writers would just go away, consider it granted. Look beyond the major metros to the small town dailies and weeklies. They’ve been dropping their editorials, and their editorial pages, for the last 25 years. Some still carry letters to the editor, but the days when a knowledgeable respected journalist, with a long-running commitment to the community, could call the mayor or school board or county commission on the carpet for corruption or stupidity with an authority greater than a lone citizen sounding off to his email list are, in most places, long past. Editorials, editorialists and editorial pages are already dying, early victims of the withering of the newspaper industry
