Blogs take all forms - many very sophisticated (and many, not). Look to the blogrolls on the blogs you visit to find other interesting places to visit. Try some of the blogs on Famous Poets & Poems. There is also The Australian Index which attempts a comprehensive listing of Aussie blogs. Add yours if it's not there already.
And if you still don't know what a blog is, go to this blog entry at Scripting News and see what Dave Winer has to say about voice and ownership under the heading ‘The unedited voice of a person’ and his earlier article at Weblogs at Harvard Law. See also Eurozine's "Blogging, the nihilist impulse" article.
Also included is just a few of the very many writer’s sites and magazine/journal sites.
