Several  years ago people used to write a diary, which was secret  and  no one could read it. Nowadays people write about their experiences and thoughts in blogs, where anybody can look at them and reply immediately. You don’t need to be a journalist to have your own blog and no editor can change what you write. For example Salam Packs  opened a blog in 2003 during the war in Iraq; he wrote about his experiences in the conflict and he became famous on the web. People were enthusiast to read his blog because they thought that it was better than reading a newspaper as everything seemed so realistic. Blogs can be helpful  to express your feelings and even to propose!
