What
is a Blog?
A blog is a type of website
that is updated regularly with new content. Most blogs contain short, informal
articles called blog posts. These posts usually contain some combination
of text, photos, videos, and other media. At its core, a
blog is just a space on the web that you can create to record and express your opinions,
experiences, and interests.
If you spend much time browsing
the web, you've probably read a blog post before, even if you didn't realize it
at the time. Some of the most-read blogs are a bit like online magazines, as
they're written by a team of people who are paid to update the blog with new
posts several times a day.
However, the majority of
blogs are written by one person. As a result, the average blog is fairly personal,
reflecting the interests and personality of the person who writes
it. This is the type of blog we'll focus on in this tutorial.
Who
Blogs?
The people who write blogs are
called bloggers. From what you hear on the news, you might think that
bloggers are all a certain type of people— all very young,
politically-inclined, and tech-savvy. Or maybe you've heard about bloggers
who've written about amazing experiences or ambitious projects, then turned
their blogs into best-selling books. While some bloggers do fit these
descriptions, the majority of bloggers don't. In fact, there's no
"average" blogger— blogs are written by people of all ages and
backgrounds, from all walks of life.
