| Blogging 101 |
Blogging 101 is mostly about the blogging
vocabulary. To understand blogs, you need to know the terms blog, platform,
domain, and web host. Once you have
mastered these key elements of blogging,
you can enter any conversation about
blogging with confidence. After you know what exactly a blog is, you will be on your way
to passing the final exam of blogging
101.
Blog is short for weblog, which simply means a series of online posts
presented in reverse chronological
order. That's all! Most blogs are text,
but there are also photo blogs and video blogs. The rest of blogging 101 has to do with the
technical side of things. If you are setting up a blog, you will need a platform, a web host, and a domain.
A blogging platform is a computer
software program that allows you to
write posts and to update your blog.
Your platform is also what you use to design
the look of your blog, from color scheme to font size. The web host is sort of like the
virtual file cabinet where your blog is
stored. Your computer communicates with
the host when you upload or edit a
post. The domain is the online address of
your blog, and usually ends in ‘dot com'. Now that you know what a blog is, what a platform is,
and what domains and hosts are,
congratulate yourself! You have passed
blogging 101.
