By now you must have heard of weblogs. These online journals and diaries, more commonly known as blogs, have become harder to define in recent years. Technically, a blog is a series of posts arranged in chronological order. Most agree, however, they're an important form of expression. Though many modern blogs are personal observances updated on a regular basis, the earliest blogs weren't rants or observances. They were lists of links maintained by a handful of tech savvy individuals। It wasn't until the late 1990's that blogging evolved into what we see today. So what is a blog?
Components:
Subject or Header: Your blog's title।
Content or Body:The text is typed or pasted into the body।
Comments: The comment feature allows others to take part in a discussion regarding the contents of your blog। When visitors add their own two cents regarding the subject matter, a lively discussion can ensue. Many bloggers and blog readers appreciate the sense of community blogs offer thanks to comments.
Time and Date Stamp: Because blogs are arranged in chronological order, it's important for visitors to note the time and date of each post।
Community:
Bloggers will often link to other blogs and websites as a way of illustrating a point or citing a source. This not only adds an air of credibility to the blog, but it also allows readers to visit blogs they might not have otherwise heard about. The blogger on the other end of the link is sure to appreciate the resulting boom in traffic. In fact a community made up of like-minded bloggers and commenters usually forms as a result of the links. These bloggers will cite each other's blogs in their own and even discuss and analyze each other's topics.
