You might find so many stuff online talking about blogging and blogs. I would sum up a few important things (that I feel important) in my first post about blogging.
So let's start with the definition of the blog.
What is a Blog?
A blog is actually an acronym of the term "web log". And as we know a log is a diary or directory maintained about important things, and that appear according to date and time. So a blog is simply important posts coming daily or weekly depends on you, in chronological order.
In simple words; it is a space online where you can share anything you want. People have started sharing from everything to nothing on their blogs. A blog is a platform that has invited creative people to share their creativity and talent. People having passion for writing have written so many nice articles that will be there on internet forever (till that website/blog remains online). Yes, you can also get into blogging if you find something useful to share with people. I found that I can write about technology, I like tweaking with technology so started writing about tips and tricks. There is a person in me who always wants to be a writer, a poet and that me will surely come up with a new blog with creative writing stuff.
Difference between Blog and Website:
Yes, this is the most frequently asked question; I would like to answer. A blog can be a website or a part of it, that gives you space to share your views. A website can have one or many blogs in it. In a blog posts (popularly blog posts) come daily, weekly or fortnightly or monthly or yearly (it actually depends on blogger).
Who is a blogger?
A blogger is the author of the blog. The person who creates content and shares it with the audience. It is not necessary that the blogger would be the owner of the blog. He can be a blogger who has been paid to write for the blog or a guest blogger who wishes to share his content with the blog owner.
Famous blogging platforms:
There are so many platforms where you can start blogging. Nowadays even social media sites give the facility to its users to create their blogs. Out of all, the most widely used and most trusted free blogging platforms are:
These are the two platforms where you can start blogging for free.
Self Hosted Blogs:
A self hosted blog is a blog that has been hosted on a private server or on private web space purchased by the user.
