What's a blog?

A new Gallup poll shows that 56 percent of Americans are not at all familiar with blogs.

And though I generally abhor starting reports and articles with a quote, I do like the quote that this article used from Benjamin Franklin:

f you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing.

(Not that that's the case with headline writers, really, even great ones.)
