A young man was getting ready to finish school. For a long time he had looked forward to getting a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well afford it, so he told him that was all he wanted.

　　 Then on the morning of his graduation(毕业) , his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box. Surprised, the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible(圣经) with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then rushed out of the house, leaving the Bible.

　　 Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day.

Blogging has become something of a big thing in the last few years. Just like the Internet was 10 years ago, blogging is popular with an underground culture that is doing it for love and passion.

Blogging is a way of collecting links to webpages and sharing thoughts and ideas with people online. Blogs are basically online journals or diaries which are created for sharing information and ideas.

Dominic, a fifth-grade student, writes: “The blogs give us a chance to communicate between ourselves and inspire us to write more. When we publish on our blog, people across the entire world can respond by using the ‘comments’ link. In this way, they can ask questions or simply tell us what they like. We can then know if people like what we write and this indicates to us where we can improve. By reading these comments, we can discover our weaknesses and our strengths. Blogging is an opportunity to exchange our points of view with the rest of the world rather than just people in our immediate environment.”

Blogging is sweeping the Internet. A recent report noted that at least three million Americans have created blogs, with similar numbers being seen worldwide.

Two years ago, Andrew Sullivan decided to set up a Web page himself and used “Blogger. com” to publish some daily musings (冥想) to a readership (读者人数) of a few hundred. He worked hard at the blog for months for no financial reward. But the result is that he is now reaching almost a quarter of a million readers a month and making a profit.

Think about it for a minute: Why not build an online presence with your daily musings and then tell your first book through print-on-demand (POD) technology direct from your Web site? Why should writers go to newspapers and magazines to get an essay published when they can simply write it themselves, change it into a PDF file, and charge a few bucks per download?

This, at least, is the idea: a publishing revolution more profound than anything since the printing press. “Blogger. com” could be to words what Napster was to music --- except this time, it’ll really work..
