The term blog somes from the word “web Log” and is an abbreviation. The term blog refers to an entry that is similar to a journal or diary entry but is recorded in cyber space for the public to read. A blog is when someone, a blogger, writes about their thougths and opinions and puts them on a small website. Blog posts are what these are called and are updated regularly by the blogger. This is what we call blogging. The term blogger can be confusing as it is used to mean the person who authors a blog post and the one who responds and comments on the posts.

Since there is no real format to the blog, those who are new to blogging can be confused. Almost anything goes in blogging. One can use any kind of language or writing style as well as adding audio and video to a blog. Any subject can be discussed in a blog it is up to the blogger. One can write about the lastest headlines, issues of the day, or their family. Some blogs are very simple and some are more elaborate. Most bloggers write as if they are speaking since there is no real format followed or required.

Once again, there is not a subject that cannot be written about in a blog. They can give tips, opinions or information.People who read blogs can comment on them if they want to

Some blogs are written to be extremely controversial so that they generate publicity and draw people to their blog page. Sometime the views are genuine but often they are just posted to get attention.
