subject: Blogging 101 [print this page] While not a difficult thing to do, Blogs are a staple of the internet community and are a large part of many peoples lives. For those of you who don't know what a blog is, allow me to explain.
A Blog is short for web-log. It can be anything from personal experiences to a business tool most people use to get the word out about their business or charity. Everyone important from Bill Gates to The Presidents of many countries have Blogs.
As many of us ask why are these necessary?, others would feel lost if they never had gotten one in the first place. If heads of countries have them, why not you?
Blogs are great ways to do research for a project or personal event in your life. For example, if you are planning on building a log home and needed some advice or had a question about a building technique, or other info, scanning through the blogs related to your topics can prove to be a huge benefit to what you are doing.
There are many blogging communities and they surround everything from cars to condos. If you have a problem or someone else has the same issue, you may be able to relate to their issue since you are experiencing the same thing. This in turn could allow the bloggers alike to put their heads to together and possible find a solution. This is why people do a thorough search of a blog like theirs.
Many careers can also stem from blogging. It is possible to make money writing blogs. Many small companies hire writers to create interesting and relevant blogs to their genre or business. There are many different ways and techniques to writing a popular and successful blog.
Make it interesting by telling your life events. Give actual truths and facts. Don't over embellish with lies and fictional story material. If someone wanted to read a story, than they would have looked for one in the first place.
Personal experiences are the majority of the blogs. Telling about your family events, be it heartaches, or triumphs, many will find it interesting enough to give criticism. Be it negative or positive, do not let it phase you style of writing. Write your blog how you feel and do not let others sway your writing style. People have more respect for the truth, no matter what it entales.
