Just a Girl - » What is a BLOG anyway?

By admin

I didn’t want to start a blog. Blogs are HOT HOT HOT right now but I just didn’t want to do it. Why? Because to me it looked like a fancier version of a forum, and because I had no clue where to start anyway! However, my friend (and I might say mentor) Rich harassed me to no end, “Get a blog! You need a Blog! Your clients will appreciate it! Blog this Blog that!” Now, being that Rich is a web design sensei in my opinion, I usually try to follow his advice. But on this one I was very reluctant. But I’ve finally given in. And for those of you who (like me not long ago) don’t even know what a BLOG is exactly, read on.

Definition

blog: A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links.

Information

A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person’s life and what is happening on the web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there are as many unique types of blogs as there are people.

People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the introduction of automated published systems, most notably Blogger at blogger.com. Thousands of people use services such as Blogger to simplify and accelerate the publishing process.

Blogs are alternatively called web logs or weblogs. However, “blog” seems less likely to cause confusion, as “web log” can also mean a server’s log files.

Hey! I saw some article the other day about the origin of web logs. Some guy was talking about true blogs, particularly what we see now, but in reality you can go back MUCH further. Remember Doogie Howser? He wrote a diary at the end of each day, and then even further back - Captain Kirk kept a log! Go Trekkies!
