What is Blogging and Why Should I Do It?

A blog is a lot like an online journal, but it can be written by a number of people, or by just one person. Each post is written on a website in chronological order, but usually displayed in reverse order. The term ‘blogging’ or ‘blog’ can also be used as a verb to imply an action - in other words, that of posting a comment on a blog.

The term ‘blog’ comes from Jorn Barger’s term ‘weblog’ and supposedly came into existence when Peter Merholz divided it into the two words ‘we blog’ on his website for a lark.

When many people communicate using a blog, they are likely discussing a specific topic of interest for them. Thus, if someone desires to know what’s the best blue widget to buy for his office, others will post with their comment on how that particular widget worked - or didn’t work. Blogs are perfect for discovering what other folk’s experiences have been with whatever you can imagine.

If someone is knowledgeable on some topic with plenty of experience that other people can benefit from, then he might start up a blog about it and offer advice. They might in addition offer links to other sites that promote products applicable to the area of competence. Also he may offer links to other articles or other blogs regarding the same subject.

Blogs utilize both images and text, even so, some blogs emphasize art (artblog), videos (vlog), photographs (photoblog) and audio, that is, podcasting or MP3. Blogs can be short or long, but those that are very short are referred to as micro-blogging. Blogs are usually updated several times a day and the technology utilized today allows people who understand very little about it to become confident bloggers with just a brief learning curve.

Early on, bloggers called themselves diarists, journalers, or even escribitionists. A comment or article placed on a blog is called a post, a blog post or an entry. Aged blogs on a topic are sometimes referred to as ‘archives’ and may be maintained on a different page or pages that are accessed via a hyperlink. There are at times a variety of links - like the index at the end of a book and they are found on the left or right of the blogging page.

The great thing about blogging is that individuals who have the same interests can all come together and talk about, getting to know each other (so to speak) at the same time.
