So at this point you will be asking how to use one of these things.
Reading a blog:
Blog entires will show on the main page of the blog. You can scroll through and see which entry you want to read, and then either read it on the main page, or click on the title to read the whole entry. This is because home pages of blogs will show only a limited amount of the blog, so click on the title to be re directed to the full entry.
Looking for a specific post? On the right hand side of blog sites you can see the blogs archives posted in reverse chronological order. Meaning the most recent entry will be listed at the top. Many bloggers will include things beyond just the text, video or photo's they usually post on the blog. Most blogs list their own favorite blogs or websites to visit, as well as polls or quotes and links off to the side. Just to give their blog a little more personality.
Writing A Blog:
This is pretty straight forward. The dashboard link at the top of the screen will direct you to your blog running options, just click on the giant POSTING or NEW POSTING button, and you will be given a big page to type on. Then you just save what you did (even this is usually not needed, as most blogs auto save every minute or so)
and click on publish post.
This will be different if you want to post a video entry or photo, then you just click on the photo or video options above the type pad and upload it from your hard drive.
Simple stuff, which is why there are so many gung ho bloggers all over the internet.
