Question

How do blogs work and wheres the best place to start one?

Answer 1

Depending on what site or sites you are on

can determine how they work.

Although all blogs are a social network

When you open a blog site you can determine

who comments who just reads or both

you can determine what type of blog you will be doing

for example

poetry, websites, fashion,

jokes, political commentary,

what you do everday,

you can have friends

pictures

Some best places would be 360

http://www.yahoo.com click on 360 or more yahoo features

then 360

another one would be

blogger

at

http://www.blogger.com

http://multiply.com

Answer 2

A blog is an online journal of your thoughts.  People read blogs out of curiosity about other people's lives and opinions.

People write them for various reasons, but Yahoo! 360 is designed as a social networking tool with friends/family or to meet new people. A blog is one of those tools. However, a Y!360 space that you can set up through your Yahoo account,  is convenient but may cause more headache if you are not of the patient temperament to deal with its buggy nature. There are many places to start blogging for free - WordPress (http://wordpress.org ) and LiveJournal (http://www.livejournal.com ) and Blogger (http://www.blogger.com ) are popular.

A good blog to me:

1) Mainly, is one that is authentic. Your thoughts, your creative background, your interests - there's only one "you," so be expressive! I know, that's corny, but it's true.

2) Keep it updated.

3) Theme... is your blog a commentary on the latest news? Is it a diatribe about activities in your daily life? Is it only about your pet's quirks? A theme isn't necessary, but a purpose helps. Now, if you just want to write anything that comes to mind, well, try to make it sound like an interesting read.

4) A sense of fun - humor always helps.

Answer 3

This is a huge question friend.. this forum is not the place to try to answer such a question.. I would suggest you try running a google or yahoo search for the question .. How do blogs work.. and then another search for Blogging sites on the Internet

Answer 4

A blog is basically an "anything site " and an "everything site"

But, its maintained in a log format...i.e. newest to oldest entries.

The possiblities are endless.

blogspot.com is great.

(And you can also make money : Although i haven't made any )

But the no. of hits u see, keeps you satisfied
