Blogs
On Friday, December 31, 2004, ABC World News Tonight chose bloggers as one
of their people of the year. They profiled an 11-year-old video blogger and
mentioned the influence of bloggers on the presidential election. I have
maintained an audio blog since May 9, 2004 and shall discuss how I got
started, why I blog, and where my ideas come from. I shall also play a
sample of two of what I think were some of my best items. Come join me and
maybe you'll want to start your own blog. Facilitated by David Faucheux

I was reluctant to copy the article into my posting because the article is
rather lengthy. If you are interested feel free to email me off list and I
will mail you the article.
