What are “blogs” and should you have one, too? The term is a contraction of “web log.”
Well, blogs (let’s take off the quotes and get used to the term, as we’ve gotten used to ‘Net and Web and download) are personal Web sites that individuals can get up and running without being technical whizzes. There are companies that put them together for you and you can maintain them for free if you accept ads or for fees ranging from about NIS 50-NIS 300 per year if you don’t.
