A Brief History Of Blogs And Its Uses

What Is A Blog?

The word =blog‘ was first coined in 1997 by John Barger as a shortened version of the =web log. ‘ Since then, web logs, or blogs, have quickly become an effective journalism method and information-sharing opportunity for dozens of industries. 

Independent website owners, small online retailers, mid-sized e-businesses, and even corporations are jumping on board the blog revolution as a new way to reach out to customers.


Blogs are a simple journalistic style of sharing information on the web, and are set up in a similar way as a basic website.

Most of them are made in a standard template, and you‘ll notice that even though the basic layout is the same for most blogs across the internet, many are also customized to mirror a website or create a unique entity of their own.
Blogs are designed in this simple format so that they can deliver a small and concise piece of information.

They are sometimes considered to be online journals, although a business blog is generally not so personalized.
Consider them to be snapshots of information, providing key news, updates, or insights on particular topics.
In either case, simple journal-style entries are common across all blogs, and many are filled with pictures, video clips, and even
pod casts.

online presence can be especially effective for providing visitors with a unique point of view.
Blogs consist of a few key elements that make them stand apart from traditional websites, and each segment of the blog  is designed for easy reading and simple navigation.

 Blogs are made of:

 Blog entries

 Date of entries

 A permalink
 RSS Syndication modules

 Archives

 XML icons

Blogrolls

 Time stamps

 Calendars

Each blog entry is the piece of content for a given day, and this is usually time stamped to let readers know when it was published.

The entry title is the key area that will draw your readers in, and can be followed by an excerpt that leads to further reading, or the entire post can be presented below it.

Blog entries can have multiple links within the entry, and these are usually added to keywords and tags. It‘s an effective way to lead readers to additional information, or simply direct them to another entry on the blog.
