What is a blog anyway?
A blog, short for web blog, is a website maintained by a “blogger” who wishes to share his experiences, hobbies, interests, passions and other information with individuals interested in the topic of the blogger’s choice. A blog stands out from a website as it allows the blogger to easily post entries on his/her subject which in return can be commented on by visitors. This type of communication maintains a conversation providing feedback and possibly more information on the related topic. In other words, a blog is something anyone can use to express their interests, passions or hobbies. It can also be related to an online diary. (Making a search on Google for blog brings up around 2.6 billion results!)
Why blogging? Many people do it just for fun and many do it to make an income right from home!
