By the way, here are some statistics I ran across on the current state
of the blogging phenomenon:

        By the end of 2004 blogs had established themselves as a
        key part of online culture. Two surveys by the Pew Internet
        & American Life Project in November established new contours
        for the blogosphere: 8 million American adults say they
        have created blogs; blog readership jumped 58% in 2004 and
        now stands at 27% of internet users; 5% of internet users
        say they use RSS aggregators or XML readers to get the news
        and other information delivered from blogs and content-rich
        Web sites as it is posted online; and 12% of internet users
        have posted comments or other material on blogs. Still, 62%
        of internet users do not know what a blog is.
