But what heck a blog? For elegant simplicity beauty blogs create, they certainly have an ugly, ungainly name. Blawg sounds like some kind gurgling sound your cat makes before coughing up a hairball.

Archives are organized by date often categorized by topic. Often, each post will have a form readers add their own comments give their opinion or reaction post's content.
