|
|
Blogging is a rapidly growing trend of online communication. It's actually much older than its name. But what exactly is a 'blog'?

If you've ever done a web search of say "movies," in the list of results you've probably come across a simple site containing someone's comments about the thing you're looking for; "Movies - I think 'The Matrix' is great because -blah blah blah- What do you think?

a personal medium:
|
|
Simply put, a blog, your blog, is your writing about anything, personal or public in the form of questions, opinions, advice, etc., etc. A blog is a personal medium through which people can express views, share thoughts, and exchange ideas. A blog can be a source of knowledge or a vessel for information. If you can email, you can blog but the difference is, depending upon what you want to say, and who you want to say it to, blogging can be much better and much more than just email.
Still in the dark? If you've ever written a diary or journal that you wanted people to read, or if you've ever visited a chat room just to share some thoughts or read others' musings, blogging is the perfect way to do both and much more. A blog is more than just email or an online diary because you can reach more people, access more links, and in general, communicate much more conveniently, effectively, and efficiently.
Blogging can be the end of a journey or the beginning of an adventure! Be your own writer, editor, and publisher, or be reader, critic, or fan. The point is, you have options and opportunities as a blogpager, and lots of them. So wait are you waiting for, register, blogin, and give it a try!
