For me it was the last time you posted about it. The only blogs I actively read are all on livejournal. It's easier to keep up with that way, I feel.

It was this morning, actually... I have it bookmarked.

Blog? What blog?

I have it bookmarked too, but haven't been there in about a week. Does that count as "some time ago" since really it wasn't all THAT long?
Oh, and I've posted too....that should count for something, right?

About 3 days ago. I visit about once a week. If I remember.

I still don't get this "blog" thing. Could someone explain it?

Blog: a shortened form of WebLog--a personal webpage which you can continually update with your reflections on life, your brilliant political insights, or random nonsense.

Well, I had never been when I voted but I have been now. I like the baby name thing. I didn't know Dale had a blog. How would we have known that? Perhaps it is listed on that front page.

He posted a similar post about it a couple weeks ago.

When I last visited it certainly seemed to be the most , er ... how exactly to put this ... er ... minimalist blog I had ever seen.

So I figured I'd drop in in a month or two and see how things were going.

Don't get me wrong. The content was exciting, but .... er ...slight.

I must add that I think that most bloggers would do well to follow Dale's lead and go for the less is more approach.

And people want to read these? Why?

College student age people use them to keep up with each other, and post comments on each others pages--sort of an online conversation....like, like, like...Chiff and Fipple.

Some people actually establish a reputation as being a particularly interesting pundit or philosopher, and attract readers they don't necessarily know.

Some people just keep up with friends/family.
