Your post just helped me make a decision- to press or not to press- because my post was not so perfect and mature. I am also exploring the genre of blogging and started a post just moments ago. I find that blogging is distinct from any other genres because of the flexibility it has and the purpose is to reach a community and share ideas. When first published it doesn’t need to be perfect and becomes develops as ideas are shared by others. Thanks!

Paul – a really interesting post which I've replied to, at some length, on my blog (where else?) http://www.completetosh.com/weblog/2008/11/13/all…” target=”_blank”>http://www.completetosh.com/weblog/2008/…” target=”_blank”>http://www.completetosh.com/weblog/2008/11/13/all… In brief: I think demanding comments takes it too far, although links are important (but still not necessary). I think blogging now heavily influences the way in which stuff is written, which makes defining blogs in strict terms rather troublesome.
