What is blogs?

Question

What is blogs?

Answer 1

Since you asked in the Y!360 section, that's how I'll frame my answer.

A blog is an online journal of your thoughts. 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.

I write mine to keep my friends/family updated on my activities and thoughts. I express myself better in writing. People read blogs out of curiosity about other people's lives and opinions.

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 5

Hi,

A blog (short for web log) is a personal Web site that serves as a kind of virtual journal that can cover any topic designated by the host of the blog. Blogging is the posting of a message to the journal.

Answer 6

Blogs provide commentary, news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. Some readers leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. ^_^
