Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview about weblogs as standalone entities. In particular, we discuss characteristic features of blogging software in general, its most important technical built-in features, as well as fundamental hosting issues. Also, this chapter presents a comprehensive review of prior weblog research by constructing an extensive weblog typology. As the title suggests, this chapter treats weblogs as single entities which accounts for the title of this chapter: the Micro-Perspective.
