In praise of blogs

I have just made a similar post to Odd Bits, the other blog of which I am a member. Today, during my usual Saturday-morning ritual of net-surfing, I came across this article by Peggy Noonan about the blogging phenomenon, which I suppose is actually becoming more like a revolution. Because I know I miei cari amici is, in some cases, your first-ever exposure to blogging, I post this as part of your introductory course. A pop quiz may be given at some point, so please read it attentively -- and enjoy!

Incidentally, if any of you wants to learn how to post an article on the blog, send me an e-mail request and I'll tell you how this is done.
