Many people enjoy keeping journals and diaries.
Keeping a journal online allows the writer to receive feedback from readers. Some have a theme or a subject. Weblogs differ slightly from journals. Weblogs began as a diary of weblinks with the writers commments on each. Bloggers cringe at being lumped in with diarys and journals but, the lines have become blurred between these distinctions and what is really a journal is often called a weblog.
