Azreal's Blurt



Welcome! This is my blurt page. It is rather like a blog but about defined subjects, well actually it is more organized than that. The internet was orginally designed for information sharing and I hope to do the same. I intend to write on subjects I have some degree of knowledge about. Also I want it to be informative so you will not find any fancy web pages or graphics, and most important each page is quite large, so none of that "next".."next".."next". OK so I also have many pages for my subjects, but thats because I think they may be too large, I try to keep one page about the same as about 10 MS WORD pages. As I wrote my first document the flow was quite spontaneous, and made up examples and sections on the go, rather like blurting (Sudden and impulsive), thats why I called it a blurt, maybe it will stick maybe not, none the less, it's the information that counts.

People can find useful information once again on the internet, because I just hate it when a search engine returns thousands of results, and finding only a few has any useful information. My blurts contain lots of information, but of course they are not very refined. I am not a writer or teacher, but may be with enough feedback my blurts will improve. I hope oneday There will be a whole network of people putting detailed information of what they know on to the web, and even a blurt library.

I am a fan of www.wikipedia.org, and think it is one of the greatest things on the web. However, the tremendeuos amount of information there means there is not much room for minor details. Blurts I hope fills in where wikipedia leaves off, and give examples, and tips, and guides to the subject I write about.
