What is blog?

We are starting the blogging series to make people learn some thing completely. So basically a blog is a weblog which consists of posts displayed in hierarchical form with newest posts at the top and older posts to the bottom. Some of the professional bloggers gave the meaning of blog in their own way which you can read below.It might clear doubts.

“A blog (a contraction of the term “Web log“) is a website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog”.Source

“Short for Web log, a blog is a webpage that serves as a publicly accessible personal journal for an individual. Typically updated daily, blogs often reflect the personality of the author”.Source

“A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world.Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what’s new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not”.Source

A blog consists of posts, comments and visitors. For specific reason a blog is owned by one person or group of persons or team. It may focus on single topic or group of topics. That depends on the wish of admin. In a blog people become friends, share opinions, learn and some time do business. It doesn’t matter where ever they reside they can share their opinion not caring about the border.

Posts:- Synonym of article is post. The process of publishing post is called posting. I write posts daily but they are no longer on the front page because the old posts will be replaced by new ones. I would like to add more and more posts daily because people like new posts to read every day. So the old posts cannot be lost instead it resided inside the deeper page of blog which is called archives. User can browse the archives by clicking the link provided in the menu bar.When clicked the archive displays long list of posts according to date.

Tag: - Every post contains tag which helps us find our article by specific keyword. Tagging is important for every post.

Comments:- The process of getting feedback for my post is called comments. I have never seen any blog with out comments. We will find it rarely. If the user is interested to share his opinion then he can comment just below the post. Just click comment and you can give your feedback, comment, question, criticizing, or any thing. By commenting bloggers can back links which in turn help them get quality traffic from big blogs. This can be done with out sweating out.The archives contain list of posts that are written on single day.

When I have stepped in to blogging , I thought it is complicated one, I thought I must learn html and java to master it. We don’t need to learn anything of that kind and this work can be done by some other bloggers, who are there and ready to help us.
