BLOGGING

In today’s digital world, blogging has become one of the effective ways of communicating
and networking among students, professionals, businessmen, public officials, etc. In other words,
blogging has become an indispensable medium of communication. In the same manner, blogging
can be used effectively for academic purposes. According to Richardson (2006), the use of blogs
has been an engaging and effective way to promote writing skills of primary students, particularly
when student peers provide feedback to the blog.

What is a Blog?

A shortened form of weblog, blogs are personal journal websites on which a user can type
an entry and add images, videos and links to other websites. Usually, readers of a blog can post
comments.

Blogging refers to writing, photography, and other media that's self-published online.
Blogging started as an opportunity for individuals to write diary-style entries, but it has since been
incorporated into websites for many businesses. The hallmarks of blogging include frequent
updates, informal language, and opportunities for readers to engage and start a conversation.

What Is Blogging?

The word blog is actually a shortened form of its original name, "weblog." These weblogs
allowed early internet users to "log" the details of their day in diary-style entries. Blogs often allow
readers to comment, so as they became more common, communities sprung up around popular
blogs.
 The content of blogs varies significantly. For example, travel blogs may feature many
pictures with few written passages, while political blogs may weigh in with wordy takes on the
news of the day. The popularity of YouTube and similar sites also gave rise to video blogging, or
"vlogging."

Like most internet-based innovations, many entrepreneurs saw marketing potential in

having a blog, and the adoption of blogging among the business community helped further increase
the popularity of the medium. Not only can a blog be used for marketing a business, but it can also
become a home business in and of itself.

How Blogging Works?

Blogging is as simple as obtaining a website and publishing original content on it. Tech-
savvy bloggers can buy a domain name and build the website themselves. Those with less HTML
knowledge can create an account with sites like WordPress that simplify the web design and
publishing process.

Blogs are usually simple websites. Older pieces may be archived in separate sections of
the site, and there may be a separate page with contact info or a bio, but the blog itself is usually
just a single page that can be scrolled through—similar to the news feed on social media sites like
Facebook. As with a Facebook news feed, a blog displays the newest content at the top of the page.

All of the posts on a blog are usually created by a single author. However, when a company
or organization maintains a blog, it may pay for blog content—either by hiring a team of writers
or buying content to post.

Another unique feature of blogging is interlinking. This occurs when a blogger links to
another person's blog within their own blog post. For example, if a music teacher maintains a blog,
and they write a blog post about how to form a chord, they might link to a musician's blog to show
an example of the chords in action. A political blogger may link to another politics blog and then
discuss how they agree or disagree with a post on that blog. Interlinking, along with the comment
section, fosters the sense of community that makes blogs unique.
 Some people are confused over what constitutes a blog over a website. Part of the confusion
stems from the fact that many businesses use both, usually by adding a blog section to the company
website. However, there are two features of a blog that set it apart from a traditional website.

First, blogs are updated frequently. Whether it's a mommy blog in which a woman shares
adventures in parenting, a food blog sharing new recipes, or a business providing updates to its
services, blogs have new content added several times a week. Websites might occasionally have
new information, but for the most part, they offer static information that rarely changes.

Secondly, blogs allow for reader engagement. Blogs and social media accounts often go
hand-in-hand because they serve a similar purpose of connecting an audience with each other and
the content creator. Some websites may incorporate features that allow for conversation, but
generally speaking, a blog allows for more conversation and interaction than a traditional website
does.

Remember to:

1. Be short and direct.

2. Ask a thought provoking question.
3. Ask a multiple choice question.
4. Share a shocking fact or statistics.
5. Share something personal.
6. Withhold a compelling piece of information.
7. Refute conventional wisdom.
8. Lead with a success story.
9. Start with a reader’s question.
10. Share a quote.
