Blog On!!
What exactly is a blog? In easy terms it is a web log or a diary or collection of ideas or discussions on the internet usually housed on a central site. Guestbooks can also be loosely described as a blog. People set up blogs to spell out their frustrations, feelings, comments on situations or their takes on news in often an anonymous way for everyone and anyone to read. Its not like a diary where you keep everything secretive.
A blogger – someone who writes to a blog, runs a blog or authors a blog will often put his or hers most inner thoughts and then read the thoughts of others. In recent times a blog which was written by a man in Iraq’s capital city Bahgdad was read by millions of people across the world and allowed them to see into the life of one man in a war torn country.
An example of one form of blog can be found on the ABC North Coast website where regular updates are posted about the Breakfast announcer who is on 12 months leave tracking around the glob and sending regular updates we can read.
Blogging makes you an instant author, its instantaneous, can be anonymous and most of all fun. Your can get a blog for free from www.blogger.com so go on blog on!
