What are blogs anyway?A blog is a regularly updated website consisting of regular article postings. Links to and from other blogs and traditional websites are a prominent feature of most blogs. A blog tends to be focussed on a single topic or issue, and usually invites comments from readers on the posted articles, starting a conversation between the writer (called a blogger) and the readers. A blog usually reflects the personality of the writer, and is most often written in a personal and informal style.
Isn’t a blog just an online diary?An online diary, or personal blog, is only one type of blog. Along with personal blogs, there are many types of business, technology, and professional blogs. The personal blog was once the predominant form of blog, but that is definitely no longer the case.
Are there different types of blogs?Blogs can be in the form of written blogs, hosted on a blog server or on the webmaster’s own site. Blogs can also be found that use audio postings rather than written posts. There are blogs for every type of business, profession, and technological concept. Writers, lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, search engine optimization experts, marketers, and public relations professionals are just a few of the professions making use of blogs in their businesses.
