Blogging...? Blogs...?

Given the fact that I have sent a mail to most of our friends and family, notifying them of this blog, I thought it appropriate to explain exactly what a blog is. For those of you that already know, skip this post, and scroll down to the next.

So, what exactly is a blog then? Well, I guess the best way to describe it, would be to say that it is a form of personal online journal. It is derived from the term "weblog" - which is essentially a diary of posts, in reverse chronological order. The term "weblog" soon morphed into "we blog", describing the process of "posting" thoughts and messages onto a personal message board. A blog typically consists of text and hyperlinks, and may or may not include images and video. For more about blogging, take a look here.

K and I thought that we'd create this personal space, where we could post regular thoughts and messages about what we're up to. We all live such a fast-paced life, that communicating with friends and family on a regular basis is quite difficult sometimes. We promise to post regular text and image updates, and hope that these will give you a sense of what is happening in our lives. We encourage you to post comments on the site, and let us know what's happening in your lives too. We're not completely abandoning traditional means of communication of course, but merely opening up another channel.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

K and G.
