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  designthe 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!
