Why blog?

Parents who blog love having a record of family life online, making it easy to connect with far-flung family and friends. Blogs also archive entries automatically, creating a wonderful souvenir of your family life. If you're worried about privacy, it's possible to password-protect your blog and control who can view it.

What does a blog look like?

Blogs have functions that make them a little different, such as the ability to archive earlier blog entries. In terms of graphics, sky's the limit on how it will look. Click here for an example of a dressed-to-the-nines parenting blog.
