Blog In Simple Language:- Blogging is often describe as an online diary, but this is a bit of an inadequate definition, as it’s become much more than that. We prefer to describe it simply as an easy interface to publish content on the web. Blogs can be used to publish new and review and to discuss product and ideas. They are easy to update and an excellent way to communicate online with customers and people interested in a particular industry or topic. From the readers perspective, a good blog provides useful, free information and helps them to stay informed on the subject of their interest. 

The internet contain blocks on almost every issue imaginable – in fact, it is estimated that there are currently over 150 million blogs floating around on the internet. Some blogs focus on just one topic, while other talk about a variety of different things. Some blogs are maintained by one person and other feature host of different writers. 

How do I Blog ?

You can either setup a stand-alone blog or a blog on your own domain. A stand-alone blog can be set up in just a few minutes via a weblog hosting service. There are three web blog services worth a mention. They are :- 

Blogger.com: Blogger is a free service and possibly the simplest to use. However, is scalability options are limited and we are not going to be spending time on this service in future lessons.

Typepad.com: Typepad claims to be the world most advanced web blog service – but it’s also the most expensive, with subscription plans ranging from $ 4.95 – $89.95 per month.

WordPress.org: WordPress is also free but contain many state-of-the-art publishing features. Word press is the service we recommended and will be our focus in subsequent lessons on blogging.
