BLOGGING
Maintaining a diary was something many parents advocated to their school going children. It served two purposes:
è Improved language skills
è Improved handwriting
è Most importantly it also served as a record of one’s daily activities.
Now diaries are seen as intimate friends by those who maintain them. The private accounts, the writer’s intimate thoughts and ideas which are detailed in diaries offer a glimpse into the person’s true nature. This makes diaries interesting to read.
Now you might be thinking why am I talking about diaries, while the topic is blogging? You will get your answer when I will define what a blog exactly is.
WHAT IS A BLOG?
A web log or just “blog” is the broad term applied to the online variant of the personal diary. Unlike diaries blogs are intended to be public. Thanks to the ease with which blogs can be put online, people who have anything to say have eagerly jumped on the blogging bandwagon, making blogs a powerful social networking tool and when combined with the power of internet, transcends geographical borders.
USE OF BLOGS
People blog for many reasons. Some of those are:
è Some use blogging truly as an online diary detailing their lives.
è Some blog to convey a message to the world, especially when other channels are not available.
è Some use blogs to convey a message in a more informal manner than is possible through usual mass media channels.
TYPES OF BLOGS
The word blog gives the impression that the account is textual in nature, probably due to the association with the diary. But on net it is a common place to see various types of blogs. These are:
è PHOTO BLOGS: - It carries pictures to convey a message. Why type in a thousand words when a picture will do?
è VIDEO BLOGS: - Video blogs are a step further from photo blogs. Why put up a thousand pictures when a video will do?
è AUDIO BLOGS: - Audio blogs incorporate audio clips. Why type in a long message when it can be recorded and played back?
è MOBLOGGING: - It is the latest trend in this field of activity refers to reading and posting to blogs via a mobile phone.
SOURCE OF EARNING
Blogging is not just a means to convey your thoughts, but also helps u earning something. It depends on the number of visits to your blog and few others aspects like adds on your blog. So, every click on your blog may earn you something. If your blog is popular you can earn a healthy amount. So, blog and earn.
BLOGGING DECIPHERED
Contrary to popular assumptions, blogging isn’t achieved in a single swoop. There are three distinct processes. These are: -
è A BLOGGING CLIENT
The post content is prepared using a blogging client. A client usually includes a text editor that allows text formatting. It may include additional tabs to facilitate the inclusion of pictures or other files into the blog.
è A BLOGGING PLATFORM
A blogging platform is the software part of a blog which contains the code that grants a blog its features and layout.
è A BLOG HOST
Every site on the internet is hosted on a web server. Unless a page is put on web server it is not available online. A blog host installs the blogging platform and the relevant add-on. With a blog host a blogger is freed from the duty of installing, configuring and maintains the modules that make up the back end of the blog.
To summarize the blogging process:
A blogger creates content using the client, the prepared content is uploaded to a blog host which contains an installed copy of the blogging platform fuses the content with the rest of the web page which has the relevant code that controls the layout and features of the blog. The completed page is then published on the web server and is available online.
So, what are you waiting for? Go, create your blog, become famous, earn and nevertheless enjoy.
