What are blogs?


Blogs are now an integral part of the Internet world. Whenever we hear the word blog we know that it is something related to new technology, but the question arises, what is a blog? Blog are online journals. They are used as short form of web logs which means a list of writings on the Internet. When all the writing is combined together to give it a look like a small website it is called a blog. A blog can be comprised of news, articles, personal diary pages, pictures, audios, video, company information, product to be sold, their advertisement and the list is endless. There is one thing that you will see commonly in every blog and that is a chronological orders where the newer post (the content written in blog) appears in the front pages. Basically the fresh post will be above the last post that you have written. The basic purpose of doing so is to make readers acquainted with the updated content. Then, there is the archive list from where reader can go to the desired post as well.

 

How does a blog work?


Most blogs focus on one subject or a range of topics, so it helps to tag or categorize each post for future reference. For example, a datingl blog might write several posts on dating issues. Tagging a post as "dating" will allow readers--and the blogger--to quickly look up all posts about dating by clicking a link on the blog's main page. One key feature of blogs is the ability for readers to publish their own reactions directly underneath the blogger's original post. Bloggers can control how this process works: A reader may need to supply a valid email address or register an account with the blog to comment. In some cases, the blogger must approve comments before they appear on the site. A blog gets its look through coding languages like HTML, PHP and CSS, but generally bloggers don't have to go into these details as the content management system (DateWithAMate) or the online interface give bloggers preset themes that are menu driven and can be designed as well edited easily.
