Blog- a brief story.
A weblog now known as 'blog' is like an online diary.
This online publishing can be about anything and everything that captures your attention, but your contennt should not violate the terms and conditions of the host of your blog.
Blogs are hosted by dedicated blog hosting services.
You can also use a popular blog software like wordpress.
Usage of regular web hosting companies are also in vogue.
Content of blogs:
Blogs mostly focus on a particular subject (niche), such as religion, news, technology, business. Majority of the blogs function as online diaries.
Blogs also contain images, animated texts and figures and links to other blogs, web pages.
History:
As per wikipedia "The modern blog evolved from the online diary where people would keep a running account of their personal lives. The first of these started in 1994 by Swarthmore student Justin Hall."
" The first broadly popular American blogs emerged in 2001: Andrew Sullivan's AndrewSullivan.com, Ron Gunzburger's Politics1.com, Taegan Goddard's Political Wire and Jerome Armstrong's MyDD—all blogging primarily on politics."
More interesting posts will appear in my next post.
