1. A blog is one person's online journal.
My definition of a blog is a online web site where someone posts his or her thinking about various issues. There's no online interaction with anyone else...in other words, a blog is not a message board (like DU)

5. Anybody can start a thread at DU - only the blog owner can start one at
his/her blog. . .

3. There can be interaction, but in my opinion, a blog isn't anything
but an electronic, online diary.
