Blogging Introduction

John DeLellis

 

  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.
