A. According to the author, blog is a portmanteau term for the word web log or weblog. In 1999, Peter Merholz split the word into We Blog, and blog was born as a noun and verb.
B. One of the most significant differences between a book and a blog is the power of links. While books have footnotes, they aren't the same as links. With links, bloggers are able navigate different websites much easier than changing pages in a book. Links give blogs a huge advantage over books.
C. Blogs started very small, and started expanding at an incredible rate. At first blogs started with links and very few commentary. Now there are millions of blogs, with all kinds of links and commentary. Today there is a very wide range of topics that blogs cover, from kitchen recepies, to presidential elections.
D. The reason why blogs are so popular is links. No book, newspaper, or magazine allows you to navigate through information like blogs allow you.
E. Of all the topics I could choose for a blog, I would probably pick a blog about movies. I would name it something that attracted people like "Movie Mania!".
