What is a Blog?

Ok so you are probably wondering (if you don’t already know) what on earth this type of website is. Well it is called a ‘blog’ or actually a Web log, but they are generally known as a blog for short. In its basic form a blog is really just an online journal, whereby bloggers add their entries whenever they feel the need; however they have evolved into so much more than that.

A blog is easily recognized by the way the pages are laid out, with the most recent entry being at the top of the screen. Blogs generally contain frequently updated information with most bloggers adding new posts to their blogs at least weekly and often more frequently than that.

Blogs build a personal relationship with the Blogger and the reader as the reader can leave comments which may trigger a dialogue of conversation on the blog. This is a great way to interact with your customers, friends and family; really anyone you like.

The great thing about blogs is that they typically allow anyone with little or no technical background to be able to set up and maintain a blog. Thus allowing people from all walks of life to start a blog and they seem to be “popping up” over the entire internet in a rate that is staggering.

Take a look around my blog and you will see that my most recent entry is right at the top of the page. Then over to your right are also some useful tools. There are a few links over there and also the archives. This is where all of the blog posts that aren’t viewable on the front page are sitting. They have been broken down into various categories to assist you to find what you are looking for.

You will also notice at the end of each post is a comments field. This is where you the reader are free to add a comment, maybe even ask a question or two. Let me know what you think of the blog and the posts that it contains. So why not give it go, click on the link and leave a comment, I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
