What is a blog? How does it work?
June 30th, 2006Blog is short for weB LOG. It is basically an online journal of some kind. For some people they write about what they are going to eat for supper and the cute thing their cat just did. For others it is a serious full time job reporting on politics, news events or similar.
That’s what makes blogs so interested. Good ones are regularly updated and Internet users can post their thoughts on the various articles. Of course by the same token many are boring drivel.
The great thing about a blog is that without any real expertise in computers or web design a person can go over to where their blog is and just publish a post in seconds without having to worry about design. The blog software takes care of the rest. I do my blog with the company called blogger, which I think is owned by Google. You should check them out, look at some of the blogs they host and sign up to make your own if you decide you want one. It’s free and fun to do.
‘A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a blog is a “blogger.” A blog comprises text, hypertext, images, and links (to other web pages and to video, audio and other files). Blogs use a conversational style of documentation and are typically updated daily using software that allows people to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in cronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominantly.’
