Blogs – What Are Blogs?
Blogs today are a lot like managing your own online journal. Blogs appear on the news section of any site quite often nowadays. For instance, some information source is tipped to a story by a blog or a blog reports something new on a already discussed story. Blogs are not online but they show up in magazines too.
But it is quite possible that many of you might never have seen a blog. (Let me first tell you the section you reading is a blog created by me). Blogs are also called as weblogs. Have you ever seen the blogosphere? Do you know what blogs are exactly? How blogs work? What blogs do? Do questions about blogs bother you..? Let me tell you what blogs are & what blogs do.
One of the things that is so amazing about blogs is their simplicity.
Think about a “normal Web site.” It usually has a home page, with links to lots of sub-pages that have more detail. Site with thousands of information pages all organized under a home page. A small business site follows the same format — it might have a home page and five or 10 sub-pages. Most traditional Web sites follow this format. If the site is small, it is sort of like an online brochure. If it is large, it is like an electronic encyclopedia.
A typical Web site has a home page that links to sub-pages within the site. Article sites are like that only, they contain thousands of articles all organized into big categories. The categories and all the latest stories are accessed from the home page.
More About Blogs:
- Blogs are quite simple.
- A blog is normally a single page of entries. There may be archives of older entries, but the “main page” of a blog is all anyone really cares about.
- A blog is organized in reverse-chronological order, from most recent entry to least recent.
- A blog is normally public — the whole world can see it.
- The entries in a blog usually come from a single author.
- The entries in a blog are usually stream-of-consciousness. There is no particular order to them. For example, if I see a good link, I can throw it in my blog.
There are some tools use for creating blogs are used by many bloggers since it is very easy to add entries to blog any time whenever they feel like doing it using those blogging tools. This is just how blogs work or what blogs do or you can say what are blogs. Well this was all about blogs I wanted to mention in my own blog. Next time I would add blog’s basics & how to create and publish your own blogs.
