What Is A Blog?
What Is A Blog? Seriously, sounds like a made up word. How could blogging ever be 
considered a job? Isn’t a blog just a online diary? Though not as much as you might have heard, I am sure some bloggers occasionally get these questions. Well, according to www.dictionary.com it is…
an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page
Now, here is my definition of a blog. It is actually quite simple. Derived from the words web log, a blog is a type of website composed of daily (for some anyway) posts. The posts can be about anything and are usually arranged in chronological order with the most recent post being first. Since the late 90’s, millions have hit the web. And for some reason, I don’t think this blogging thing is going to slow down.
When determining what your blog should be about, I think Blogger said it best…
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.
Types Of Blogs
Personal Blogs -I would venture to say that most blogs are personal in nature. While some individuals strive for thousands of visitors and lots of money, a lot of bloggers are content with relieving stress and informing family members about current gossip.
Company/Organization Blogs – Blogging has created quite buzz in the business world over the past few years. More and more businesses are using blogs as a means of communication. Blogs have created a great way for companies to stay in touch with customers and possibly earn new customers. Plus, through comments, polls, and reviews, customers can now communicate with business.
