What A blog really is and how to get your head around this whole blogging thing...So what the heck is a blog anyway?
If
you're new to the blogging world, you may still be wondering what on
earth a blog actually is.And you may even feel a little embarrassed
or even ashamed when others talk about blogs and you don't really
know what they're talking about.
Well,
don't feel bad, because I'll now help you demystify this whole
blogging thing once and for all...The word "blog" is short
for "weblog", and it's a term that was created for a
special kind of website that essentially helps you write down a "log"
of...stuff... well, anything really!
In
the "old" days (just a few short years ago now) a lot of
people used blogs as a type of online journal where they could write
down whatever happened in their lives, and share it with their
friends and family.
And
this still happens today. But, nowadays, blogs are the most popular
type of website on the internet - for both people, as well as for
search engines - but more on this soon...
People
now use blogs to publish content related to any and every topic you
could imagine, ranging from how to raise kids to internet marketing
to personal development - in fact, almost any topic that you can
conceive of.
A
blog is really just a special kind of website that lets you easily
publish content whenever you want and allowing other people to
interact with your content in the form of writing comments in
response to whatever you published.
So,
it's quite different from the stuffy old "static" websites
that do not change their content
as
a general rule of thumb. Blogs are a lot more fluid and interactive
than the normal "old school"websites... and much more
effective too!
But
why have blogs become so extremely popular in the recent past?
Well,
there are at least three reasons...
a.
Blogs are popular with the search engines.
Because
blogs get updated with new content so often, search engines lists
them very high up on their search results.This means that blogs are
likely to get more traffic than normal "static" websites
because more people can find them quickly and easily in search
engines
like Yahoo and Google.
Now,
if you were a website owner, which would you prefer? A stuffy old
static website that does not change and does not get listed in the
search engines, or a vibrant ever changing interactive blog that gets
listed in the major search engines?
Easy
decision right? b. Another main reason is because blogs are
interactive.Whenever you visit a blog, you can read the original post
by the author of the blog, and then you can also submit a comment
expressing your own thoughts on what the blog post was about.
When
other people join the "conversation", things can get very
interesting, and you could end up with a very exciting collection of
thoughts from people from all over the world.
Because
conversation in itself creates a bit of "drama", people
naturally get attracted to it, and want to be a part of it. And thus,
the more people who do this, the faster this whole blogging thing
grows.
c.
And of course, blogs have got to be one of the easiest kind of
websites to set up.Believe it or not, but you don't actually need any
technical knowledge such as html programming and a lot of money to be
able to set up your own blog.
If
you can click a few buttons and type letters on your keyboard, that's
all you need for setting up your very own blog.And in some cases, you
could even set up a new
blog
in a matter of minutes!
They
don't cost a thing either.But these are only three of many reasons
why blogs
are
so popular, and there are many other reasons as well and I'll leave
you to explore those for yourself.So, in summary, a blog is really
just a special kind of website that allows you to easily add content,
and get other people from all over the world to absorb and interact
with your content on the internet.
