ASK THE EDITOR

Q: I keep seeing this word 'blog' all over the place. Just what exactly is a blog and how do I make one to enter this blog contest?

A: A blog (from the term "web log") is basically a spot online where you can share information with others - whether it's fact or opinion - kind of like an online diary. On most blogs, other people can comment on the information you post.

If you're ready to start a blog on Fishing.Net, this link will help you create your blog. Obviously you want to keep the information you "blog about" to be related to the site where your blog is located. So on Fishing.Net, stick to what you know and think about fishing topics.

Good luck with the contest and happy blogging!
