What is a Blog?


What is a Blog

Blog…blog…blog…what is a blog?When it comes to what a Blog is, everyone has their own idea and understanding.In my opinion Blog is a platform, used for sharing ideas, opinions, information and building a community.Blog is about getting together with similar minds.
The true definition of a Blog comes from the term “weblog”.But in time, bloggers have shortened the term “weblog” into blog.What separates a Blog from a website is it’s way of organizing information in a chronological order.The possibilities with a blog these days are almost endless.
As you can do much more with a blog now then you could before.You can write and publish written work, share images, videos, links, downloads, projects, and much more.You can even use a blog to earn online revenue through many methods.
Lets understand some of the terms used in a Blog. A blog is a website or platform, where written work is published.The person who writes and publishes the written work is called a blogger.The written work which is published by a blogger is called articles or posts.
A Blog has it’s own unique way of organizing and sharing information.Such as, archives, recent posts, recent comments, popular posts, categories or labels.I should also mention that, there are more people using Blogs as their publishing platform, rather than websites.Also if you surf the net, you will realize that, many of the big websites, writers, publishers use blog’s as their platform.
An example of a Blog would be the site, which you are viewing at the moment.I hope this clears up all your questions regarding to what a blog is.
