The definition of a blog is pretty simple.

From a pure mechanical or descriptive standpoint, a blog is a website, with articles (text) arranged in chronological order from newest to oldest written typically by one person (the blogger) but not always. There may be guests, or it might be a community blog written by a group of bloggers. 

But that really doesn't tell you very much about what a blog really is. 

Nor does it really give you a glimpse into what a blog is all about. 

So what IS a blog? 

A blog is...your window to the world of real estate for readers. As the writer it is your lens and perspective, your viewpoint, your ability to influence, and your opinion.

A blog is...your passion, your likes and your dislikes, your ethics, your integrity, your thoughts, your emotions, and your humor

A blog is...your opportunity to be creative, to share, to inspire, to question, to inform and educate, to change, to get the word out, and to critique

A blog is...your chance to be yourself, to be original, to speak in your voice, to say what you want, and to reflect your personality, your spirit and your soul

A blog is...your business, your community and your personal life, sometimes with blurry lines between

A blog is...a way to make friends, interact, and establish and maintain relationships (both business and personal), which can lead to real estate transactions and referrals, and to a more rewarding personal and social life

 But there can be an ugly side of a blog, too 

A blog is...sometimes a place to misbehave, chastise, criticize, ridicule, slander, complain, insult, embarrass, break confidences, proselytize, self-promote, steal and...you get the idea. 

What is so simple really isn't so simple after all, is it?
