So weblogs are all about disaster and war?
Gosh Jesus no! Weblogs cover a wide range of topics, such as other weblogs, what the mainstream media are saying about weblogging, new weblogs, advances in weblog publishing, books about weblogging, the future of weblogging, and that one naked guy painted up like Spider-Man.
Can I publish a weblog?
You can and you should. Valuable and relevant communication is only possible when you don't have to put much work into publishing your thoughts. Usenet and talk radio prove this. Thus, many fine programmers are creating ways to get your ideas out there with the barest minimum of effort. Soon you'll be able to check out your weblog to see what your opinions are without even having to form them.
Will weblogs eventually replace traditional journalism, causing all current bastions of establishment reporting and punditry to run, dog-like and cowering, back to the ink-stained pits from which they were spawned?
Uh. Um. Hey, look! It's a naked guy painted up like Spider-Man!
