An unavoidable question.
It had to come up sooner or later (if there really is such a thing), so it really doesn't matter where it gets linked. Is the Boidem a blog? Technically speaking, no. It's done in plain html that gets uploaded through traditional FTP. Is it a personal web site? Of sorts, of course, though it's always trying to be a bit more. In some ways it's a journal, and even a log: I often list a number of URLs that relate to the subject around which a particular column deals, and considering that those subjects are chosen because they catch my attention at a particular point in time, there's an aspect of the log in those lists.
Ultimately, of course, a web site is a web site is a web site. Sites have words. They have pictures. Sometimes they're journals, sometimes not. Form should follow function, but function in this case (I know I'm showing my age here) should be content. Ah, but anyone who's read the introduction knows that one of my main contentions is that in an extended hypertextual setting the boundaries between the content and the content provider become blurred until any sense of objectivity is lost. And if I'm not being objective, then this is pretty much like a diary. I don't write down what I'm eating as I write each page, but I have gone into quite a bit of (carefully chosen and hand-picked) personal detail. So the Boidem isn't a blog, and it isn't cataloged as a personal web site. I guess it just simply is what it is.
