Beginners Guide To Blogging

A blog is basically an online journal wherein you
can digitally pen down your thoughts, ideas,
opinions and practically anything that you want
people to read. Blogs come in different styles,
formats, and settings, depending on the
preference of the user. Many blogging sites,
offer built in features such as hyperlink,
straight texts, pictures etc. Some blogging
sites, even allow you to put video and mp3's on
your blogs.

Instead of writing texts, some bloggers choose to
make their blogs more audio friendly, by using
spoken word entries. This is called audio
blogging.

Basically a blog contains these features:

*title- which allows you to label your post
body- this is the content of your post

*trackback- other sites can be linked back to your
blog

*permanent link- every article that you write has
a URL

*comments- this allow readers to post comments on
your blog.

One of the advantages of blogging, is that it is
made of only a few templates. Unlike, other
websites that is made up of numerous individual
pages. This make it easier for blog users to
create new pages, because it already has a fix
setting that include: slots for title, body of
the post, category, etc.

This is especially useful for first time users,
since they can start blogging right away. They
can chose from a number of templates that
blogging websites provide.

Anyone who wants to start a blog can do so by
becoming a member of a blogging website of their
choice. Once they've become members, they
automatically become a part of that particular
blogging community. They can browse through other
bloggers pages, and link them back to their own
blogs. They can also make comments on other
members' blogs.

Blogging is not just limited to personal usage.
There are a lot of blogs that follow a theme such
as: sports, politics, philosophy, social
commentary, etc. These blogs espouse on their
specific themes. This way blogging becomes a
medium in which people can share their knowledge
and opinions about a variety of themes and
topics.

Some bloggers even use their blogs as a means to
advertise. Some authors advertise their books on
their blogs. While other bloggers, use their
blogs to shed light to currents issues, events,
news and catastrophes.

Nowadays in education, blogs also play an
important part. Professors use blogging to
document the lessons that they have discussed and
taught. This way, students who who have missed
classes, can easily catch up with their
assignments.

A lot of entrepreneurs benefit from blogging by
promoting their businesses on their blogs, with
millions and millions of people logging onto the
net everyday, blogging has become a lucrative
move. Some bloggers who run online businesses
promote their merchandise online. While others
profit through advertisement.

But by far, the most popular blog type is the one
that takes the form of a personal journal. This
is the kind that is usually used by first time
bloggers. Individuals who want to document the
daily struggle of their everyday lives, poems,
rants, opinions, find that blogging offers them a
medium in which to express themselves.

Bloggers usually communicate within themselves.
This is one of the appeals of blogging. It
creates a community of people sharing their
ideas, thoughts, and comments with each other.

Blogs varying in topics, themes, and set-ups, can
be found in blog directories. First time users
who want to get an idea of what the blogging
world is all about can browse through a number of
blogs using these directories. This way they'd
get an idea of what these blogging communities
are like.

Blogging is popular all over the world. Blog is
short for the term weblog. There are no rules
when it comes to blogging. Bloggers have the
freedom to express themselves how ever way they
want, and the best thing about blogging, is that
most blogging sites are free.

There are numerous blogging websites to choose
from in the net. This give first time users the
option of joining a blogging community that
appeals to their interests.

Just search any blogging directory and you'd get
a listing of a lot of blogging sites that are
available on the net. It's easy to search a
blogging directory, because it is organized
according to category. This way you would get
exactly what you are after. Blogging is really
for everyone. It is fun, simple and easy.

I recommend using www.Blogger.com
They are owned by Google so you have a better
chance of getting listed on the search engines.
