Directory of Blogs
"Blog" is a contraction of the word "Web
Log", is a type of website maintained by an individual.
In the sport of
windsurfing, individuals from all over the world maintain their own blogs, which
are essentially online diaries of their windsurfing sessions displayed in
reverse chronological
order. Windsurf blogs are primary photoblogs which
contains lots of photographs of their
windsurfing sessions, but also contain
videos, text, tidbits of information, links to other
blogs or other websites
etc. Windsurf blogs have been characterized as many things,
such as
"blowing your own horn", or whatever. I tend to view them as an unleashing
of individual talent, often containing nice gems of information and advice.
