What is a Blog?

1/14/2009 10:22:00 AM

Simply Put, a blog is an online journal. It's a place to keep track of your thoughts. You can record your own personal opinions, thoughts, trade ideas, actual trade executions, charts, lists of symbols or any other tidbits you see fit. You can hold those opinions close and keep them private or you can share, pontificate and expound them to the entire world.

Your blog is whatever you choose it to be. You get to write the content, you choose what you share, you choose how it looks and you choose who can read it.

Your blog is your own customized home on the internet. You'll get your own custom .com internet address that you get to choose (example: my-trades.blocks.com).

As you post new blog entries they'll show up at the top of your blog homepage. If you share your blogs publicly, they'll be viewable by visitors and guests as well as other members of the Blocks.com community. Blocks will automatically link content by similar categories and stock symbols.

Get out there and start your blog, it's easy, fun and will help make you a better investor.
