What's a Blog?

Originally created from the words Web + Log, a blog is an online journal or informational website or webpage containing one person’s ideas, thoughts, reflections, experiences, and more. A blog includes comments, sometimes hyperlinks, photographs, and/or videos provided by the blogger. Information is displayed in reverse chronological order, with the most recent appearing at the very top of the list.

Bloggers are people who own and create blogs. They are open to sharing information on just one area (for example, food, yoga, infected toe, etc.) or various areas (more general). In addition, bloggers encourage readers to express their opinions on their blog posts with a comments section. This gives readers the opportunity to add their thoughts, share in conversation, or just provide feedback about the blog post.​

Blogging is the act involved of writing a blog. This entails many skills such as formatting/structuring the blog page, writing content, using the writing process, hyperlinking, adding photos, and monitoring and replying to comments. It involves consistency and commitment. It’s a great way to connect with other people. Blogs are for everyone!​

​So, what do you think? Would you like to have a blog of your own? Everyone has a story to tell. What kinds of things would you blog about?
