What does it mean to Blog? It can seem overwhelming on where to get started when wanting to learn more about blogging and where to begin.  In today’s information age this is a popular question that is asked by many people. In reality a blogger can be compared to a philosopher. It usually is a personal journal that is updated frequently. In some cases it can also be used by a business to form a more personal relationship with a customer.

Usually a blogger will create a blog on a topic that they are interested in. So for example if they are a soccer fanatic then they may start a blog on their favourite team.  In many cases the topic could also be a current event that interests them as well.

The big advantage of this platform is the ease at which you can do this. There are free platforms available like Blogger and Wordpress which allow you to create your posts with a graphical WYSIWYG interface that requires no technical knowledge.

If a blog becomes popular and generates significant traffic the owner can monetize it with advertising that suits this type of medium. The most popular form of advertising used is Google Adsense. If you use Blogger this is even built into the interface as Google owns it. So it is just a matter of selecting some predefined layouts to display your advertising.

A typical “post” would consist of an opinion on a topic and also link to other posts or websites. Blog carnivals are always on the lookout for high quality articles and they exist for nearly every type of topic. Blogs also use social media to share popular posts.
