Blogs are appearing more in Hawaii than ever before and on the printed news pretty often these days. A reporter may be tipped off to a story by a blog, or a blog reports a different angle on a story. Blogs show up in magazines a lot, too. But there is a good chance that most of our fellow dancers on Oahu are not likely to be familiar with a blog (also known as a weblog) or experienced the blogosphere. What are blogs? This is a blog. There are now millions of them -- where did they all come from?
“Social dancing is inherently social, but steps replace words and beats iron out pauses.
The shy and the awkward find a home where good music and good rhythm
vanquished their shyness and awkwardness."
One of the things that is so amazing about blogs is their simplicity. Think about a "normal Web site." It usually has a home page, with links to lots of sub-pages that have more detail. In Hawaii many have dozens of information pages all organized under a home page. The complexity is good but too complex for most readers and most dance web sites do not have enough readers so they omit the counters that would enable them to find out what hits and what doesn't hit.
Our dance blog sites are much simpler: We normally have single page entries. There may be archives of older entries, but the "main page" of a blog is all anyone really cares about. Our blog is organized in reverse-chronological order, from most recent entry to least recent. So the first one is the most recent. If you wish to see older news, just keep on scrolling. And if you want to see something of your information posted in a dance blog just email it in.

They are supposed to help you discover who you are."
