What Is A BLOG?
From my recent experiences BLOGGING, I would have to define a BLOG as something similar to an online diary, the purpose defined by the user, and items arranged from most recent post to first written. A BLOG can consist of many things: text, images, links to other sites or documents, video, and html coding of course. Its set up is defined by its user, sometimes using templates or for the more experienced BLOGGER, html code.
Posts are organized in a sequential manner from the current month to previous months that posts were made. Length of a post is again determined by the user, who is the administrator of the BLOG. The administrator can allow others to post on their BLOG, either as contributors, or using the comment boxes available following each post.
I see BLOGGING as an easier method than web page design of using the internet as a collaborative tool, as the user doesn’t need to have any previous experience in Web Publishing or knowledge in html. A BLOG can be published in a matter of minutes.
Some potential issues with BLOGGING may include improper use, no regulatory body governing it, and individuals leaving inappropriate comments following a post. Luckily, as the administrator of a BLOG, one is able to screen the comments placed on the site by other readers, and delete or edit them as necessary.
All in all, my experience BLOGGING thus far has been very successful. Of all the obstacles I have faced so far, I have been able to overcome them all. Would I recommend BLOGGING to others? Yes, and I am considering starting a personal video BLOG, and possibly another BLOG to house information collected for my Masters Thesis.
