    And as far as your comment on the simplicity of the scripting required, that's just snobbery. I'll bet your design and scripting skills are miles further ahead than those of most bloggers, but so what? How is that relevant?

    Because all you need is fucking notepad. Learn how to count days correctly, and you can be a blogger and not even know what php or perl even is.

    Blogs are part of our modern oral tradition, and from a sociological standpoint they're extremely relevant and important media.

    Get off your high horse. They're only important because bloggers claim they're important. When was the last time they got major recognition on say, a major news program? Where's the 20/20 story?
