Dear readers, we
all are living in the golden era of computers & gadgets. In this
dynamic world, one must be updated with current knowledge & must
be able to upgrade himself with the changing global scenario.
Internet, one of
the important parts of our day to day life offers us many things.
Social networking is one part of it. Almost every one of us is much
familiar with many social networking sites such as face book,
twitter, orkut, whatsapp, pinterest, tumbler, instagram, youtube &
many more. Blog is also like that. Blogger is a social site having
lot of importance worldwide but unfortunately, very few of us know
about blogs. I feel proud of having its knowledge & using
applications of blogger. So as a blogger, I’d like to share some
blogging tips with you in the following article
B for Blog –
Blog is a truncation of the word ‘web log’ (diary on
Internet) It is a form of web diary; you can write & share with
your friend, circles & public. The person writing a blog is a
blogger & every article in a blog is a Blog-post. All the
Blog posts in a blog are arranged in a reverse chronological order,
such that fresh post remains at the top of the page.
Before Blogging – (Blog Vs Website) Blogs are like websites,
but both are not the same. Creating a website requires lot of
technical skills, knowledge of computer languages like HTML. But
blogs are very simple to create & maintain. Basic computer
knowledge is enough to get started with your blog & if you are a
good programmer, then you can also customize your blog using HTML (As
per your choice)
So anybody with basic computer knowledge can easily startup with a
blog without much technical skills.
Blogging Basics – Blogs can be of various types like News
Blog, Art Blog, Fashion Blog, Photo Blog, Video Blog, Bolly Blog,
Study Blog, Professional Blog, Music Blog, Food Blog, Recipe Blog,
Travel Blog etc.
You can choose any topic of your interest & start Blogging with
it. You can start blogging in either of the two ways.
