What is a Blog?
With more and more people jumping into the work at home online opportunity, it is known that having a blog and blogging is one of the fastest way to start.
Everywhere you turn, people are talking about blog. Newspapers, websites, evening news and even magazines are now jumping on the blog band wagon. However, what exactly is a blog and why should you want to have one, especially if you are thinking of doing an online business?
In general, a blog is an online journal where you can post information that you want to share with others. This information can be anything from recipes to expressing your opinion about worldly matters.
Creating a blog is a very simple process. All you need to do is join a blogging website, choose a template, post the information you want to share, and hit the "publish" button. There are dozens of places that allow bloggers to use their blogging software for free. One of the most popular free blogging sites is Google's, Blogger at www.blogger.com.
Most blog software has built-in templates and features that allow the user to simply type in the information they want to share. Some blogging software allows users to post pictures, video and audio files on their blogs.
Unlike websites, which are made up of numerous individual pages; blogs are made up of only one template. This makes it easy for blog owners to create new pages, because the template has a fixed setting that already includes things like the title, category, and a place to post information.
Basically a blog contains these features:
- Title - allows users to create a title for each blog post they create.
- Body - the area where users post their content.
- Trackback - allows other blog owners to link back to the user's blog.
- Permanent Link - this is the URL or hyperlink created for each blog post.
- Comments - allows others to post comments to the user's blog. Oftentimes this feature can be turned on or off to suit the blogger's needs.
If you decide to use a blog to market your business, make certain you remain professional at all times. Check your spelling and grammar. Proof it before you post it. If you find a mistake, fix it. What you present on your blog is just as important as what you present on your web site.
