This post on Blogging 101 is not the most recent (Dec. 9, 2009), but it is still very relevant. The article is perfect for the 'beginning blogger' or the 'blogger in consideration', as this piece explains what a blog is, provides links to examples of good sites, and details other general blogging information. Good job Yuri!
