What is a Blog?

A blog is very much like an online diary, but it can be written by numerous people, or by just one person. It is written on a website in chronological order, but often displayed in reverse order. The word ‘blog’ or ‘blogging’ can also be used as a verb to denote an action – specifically, that of leaving a comment on a blog.

Blogs can be long or short, but those that are extremely short are referred to as micro-blogging. Blogs are usually updated frequently and the technology used today allows people who know very little about it to become bloggers with just a tiny learning curve.

In the early days of blogging, bloggers called themselves journalers, diarists, or even escribitionists. An article or comment written on a blog is called a post, a blog post or an entry. Old blogs on a topic are sometimes referred to as ‘archives’ and may be kept on a different page or pages that are accessed via a hyperlink. There are sometimes a variety of hyperlinks – like the index of a book and they are found on the right or left of the blogging page.

The beauty of blogging is that persons who have the same interest can all come together and discuss it, getting to know each other (in a manner of speaking) at the same time…
