The first chapter of The Huffington Post Complete Guide to Blogging has been reprinted widely on the web, both at Amazon.com, and the Wall Street Journal’s website. You can read the WSJ’s excerpt here.

What is a blog? “A blog at its most fundamental level is simply a ‘web log.’ That is, a regularly updated account of events or ideas posted on the web. But calling blogs mere updated web diaries is a bit like calling poetry a pleasant arrangement of words on a page. There is an art to this. Those of us who work at HuffPost believe we are fortunate enough to be present at the advent of a new form of human communication — one that is more interactive, more democratic, and just more fun than what has come before.”
