Welcome! at 9:01 AMDear 6 Violet,
Let's Blog!!
Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a journal (or newsletter)
that is available on the internet. It is frequently updated and intended
for general public reading. Blogs generally represent the personality of
the author or the Web site.
The activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who
keeps a blog is a "blogger." Blogs are typically updated daily using software
that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain
the blog.
However, when one blogs, one has to be responsible. Although we maintain the freedom of speech, we must never turn to discrimination. All posts on the internet can be monitored and the posting of discriminatory or defamatory remarks can result in one being arrested and thrown in jail.
Singapore has seen the conviction of 3 bloggers who were arrested for posting racist remarks:
