What is a Blog

Blogging is an excellent platform to work from home and make some extra money. This is quite easy. Just open a blog on Blogger, make posts and earn money.

According to Wikipedia, a blog is a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order. 


More definitions of a blog:

·         Blog, a short form for weblog, is a personal journal that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption.
·         A blog is a way for people to share what they are thinking and what's on their mind. It's a public way of speaking over the internet. It can be business or personal.


Today people all over the world are Blogging. CEOs, doctors, lawyers, journalists, chefs, florists, school students, mothers. It's too simple.

The best part about blogs is that anyone can make one. Blogging requires very little or no knowledge of HTML orwebsite designing. If you can a paragraph, you can blog.


Blogging gives this freedom. It does not need navigation architecture designs of a website nor a structured menu. You write and get printed - as simple as that.

People around the world are Blogging to communicate with family, for education, for business, and almost anything else you can think of. The essential characteristics of the blog are its journal form, typically a new entry each day, and its informal style. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in chronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominently. A person’s Web log is almost like an open diary.
