"Blog" is short for "web log", and is an easy-to-use "online diary" tool which can help to build community around a specific theme.

Anti-Porn London "..aim for our blog to be a central source of accessible and useful information and a resource for anyone campaigning against pornography - or simply a safe-space on line for anyone unhappy with the current pornified status quo."

TBTT global invites everyone to take over the blogosphere for 16 days.

ka-BLOG! is a 16-day blog fest for the Take Back the Tech Global Campaign. It is open to anyone and everyone - girls, boys, everyone beyond and more -- who wants to share their thoughts, write poetry and prose, post graphics / pictures, rant, rave, heckle, make snide remarks, stick their tongue out at violence against women, and how online communications can exacerbate or help eliminate VAW.

If you are blogging, don't forget to tag your posts so we can aggregate them on this site, and amplify your voice!

[In Filipino slang, "ka-BLOG" means someone you blog with.]
