What makes a blog?

Rhys is now suddenly the judge of what makes a good blog and what counts as a blog entry.

Check out his site, it will apparently demonstrate the perfect example of a blog. Apparently, all you need to do is update once every 6 months, and ramble on for a couple hours and you will have a "real blog entry."

I always thought a blog was a place to put down whatever random thoughts you may be having, a place to share things that you may find interesting or a place to ramble on about things that no one wants to listen to you talk about normally...

Was there a blog writers instruction manual that I missed???
