Blog.....Blogger......Blogging

A blog is a web-based publication, where you can create and write stuff on a continual basis. On most blogs, the new or latest stuff shows up at the top of the blog, so that visitors to your blog can read what's the new or latest goss. Blog visitors are able to comment on your ‘goss’ or follow your link/s in it or send you an email (that is of course if you provide these options on your blog).
There a 2 or 3 steps that allows you to easily create a blog and you are able to maintain the blog with a minimum knowledge of technology. Creating a blog will take just minutes (and its FREE).

Your blog can be whatever you want it to be. Blogs are elegant, powerful and look very professional. It can be a place for you to share your thoughts and opinions on any topic including world issues. All you need do is to create a blog, then from then on login to your blog, input the information you want to put on the web (including all the normal formats eg images, audio and loads of other file types) then press a button, and your blog is updated.

There are lots and lots of blogs. In fact I’m told there are literally millions of blogs on all sorts topics and because these are all differently constructed there are no real hard and fast rules.

Blogging has reshaped the web, impacted politics, shaken up journalism, and enabled millions of people to have a voice and connect with others. Like other media, blogs often focus on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news. Some blogs function as online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic.
