What’s a big deal about BLOG??
Blogs (also known as web logs, or weblogs) are web sites that contain frequently updated ‘posts’ with the most recent entry at the top of the page and the previous ones displayed reverse-chronologically. The type of information contained within a blog varies greatly from individual to individual. Authors of blogs (known as bloggers) can describe day-to-day observations in their lives, or more specific topics of interest to them, such as web design or cycling.
Typical layout of a blog
Possibly the most varied and idiosyncratic area of the three, the side bar, is an eclectic mix of links and information related to the blog and its author. Typical features of the side bar include a ‘blogroll’ or list of links to other blogs, an archive of past posts in date order (which can go back a number of years) and information about the author, not dissimilar to an ‘About’ page on a personal web site. However, the side bar often displays many other types of information besides the few examples given here, a symptom of the diversity present in the blog community (collectively known as the ‘blogosphere’). Blogs are created using the same language as web pages and therefore they inherit the properties of a web page. As a result of this, blogs are cross-modal in that they can display not only text, but also images (most commonly in the form of digital photographs), audio and video. It is also possible for a blog to have more than one author, sometimes known as collaborative blogs. A single blog, therefore, can incorporate the writings of many people, usually with each post having a signature at the end designating the author. These types of blog are popular among families and organizations, although they also have many other uses. The ease with which blogs can be set up means that they are ideal for ephemeral events such as conferences allowing many different people to publish information rather than a single individual being responsible for all the information.

Cameron Diaz apologizes for political fashion faux pas in Peru
Cameron Diaz apologized Sunday for carrying a bag with a political slogan that evoked painful memories in Peru.
The voice of Princess Fiona in the animated Shrek films visited the Incan city of Machu Picchu in Peru’s Andes on Friday carrying an olive green bag emblazoned with a red star and the words “Serve the People” printed in Chinese, perhaps Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong’s most famous political slogan.
Actress Cameron Diaz, wearing the offending bag, takes pictures during a tour of the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu near Cuzco, Peru, on Friday.
(Karel Navarro/Associated Press) The bags are marketed as fashion accessories in some world capitals, but in Peru, the slogan evokes memories of the Maoist Shining Path insurgency that fought the government in the 1980s and early 1990s in a bloody conflict that left nearly 70,000 people dead.
“I sincerely apologize to anyone I may have inadvertently offended. The bag was a purchase I made as a tourist in China and I did not realize the potentially hurtful nature of the slogan printed on it,” Diaz said in a statement e-mailed to the Associated Press.
On Friday, one prominent Peruvian human rights activist said Diaz should have been a little more aware of local sensitivities when picking her accessories.
In Sunday’s statement, the star of There’s Something About Mary said the purpose of her visit was to participate in a television show that celebrates Peru’s culture. The actress has been in Peru as part of 4 REAL, a Canadian TV production that focuses on young community leaders around the world.
“I’m sorry for any people’s pain and suffering and it was certainly never my intention to reopen what I now know is a painful wound in this country’s history,” she said.
Diaz also spoke of Peruvians’ beauty and warmth and said she wished “for their continued healing.”
