What is a Blog

A blog is a web log that is available on the web that lets you journalize  anything or everything.  Blogs are typically updated regularly to keep the content fresh. Blogs are easier and cheaper to set up than a website. There are many free sites that will provide the software and hosting for you. As you can see from this blog, I am using blogger.com.

Blogs are very easy to set up with very little technical knowledge. Entries are called posts and they are organized in chronological order. Posts are usually written in a conversational style of writing. You can insert pictures, videos, links and other multimedia items.

Most blogs are written on a specific topic. You should pick a topic that interests you.
