It seems like Blogs are everywhere these days. You can't seem to surf the Internet without seeing the
word Blog somewhere. Here we explain the basics what a Blog is and how you can use them to help
promote your business or personal website and gain valuable information quicker that surfing the
Internet.
The word Blog is short for web log. Basically a Blog is just an area set aside you to write articles that
can easily be accessed with a special program called a RSS reader. In case you're wondering RSS
stands for real simple syndication.
Blogs range in scope from individual diaries to arms of political campaigns, media programs, and
corporations. They range in scale from the writings of one occasional author, to the collaboration of a large
community of writers. Many weblogs enable visitors to leave public comments, which can lead to a
community of readers centered around the blog; others are non-interactive. The totality of weblogs or
blog-related websites is often called the blogosphere. When a large amount of activity, information and
opinion erupts around a particular subject or controversy in the blogosphere, it is sometimes called a
blogstorm or blog swarm.
