I'm still confused. What does the blog do that this newsgroup doesn't do,
other than the obvious content control you exercise over its posts?


It's quite different, being primarily one author's ideas and others'
comments. Sometimes, the comments are suppressed and go only to the
author.

In many respects, it can be a multi-media journal that doesn't require
the author to hand-code web pages. It's pretty cookie-cutter, but that's
sufficient for this sort of thing.

Though I don't know about Sailblogs, often a blog can be updated from a
simple desktop executable, so July 10th's remarks can retain that date &
time until the author can actually upload the individual entries.
