Blogging - What's It All About
A blog usually is a web page that contains brief, discrete
hunks of information called posts. These posts are arranged in
reverse-chronological order (the most recent come first) and each
is uniquely identified by an anchor tag which is marked with a
permanent link that can be referred to by others who wish to link
to it.
A blog is a means of communication and there are many
different types of messages carried by blogs. Some are nothing
but pointers to other web sites, while others run long essays,
some are personal diaries, others feature technology, and some
are edited by one person, others by teams. There are hundreds of
thousands of blogs on the Internet, and new blogs are created
every day. Can anybody and more importantly can you blog? Yes,
there are bloggers of all types, equipped with all levels of
technical skills. Bloggers approach their sites with as much
variety and passion as the general Net public approaches the Web
itself.
The most commonly used blogging tool is Blogger. It requires
the least amount of commitment in time or resources, allowing you
to go from wanting a blog to having one in about five minutes and
at no cost. The Blogger software is the property of Pyra Labs
(www.pyra.com). Blogger is often credited as the reason for the
explosion of blogging that's occurred in the last couple of
years. It is a web-based tool, requiring no installation of
software on your personal computer or on your server if you
happen to have a web site. You access the tool through the
Blogger web site (http://blogger.com) and the blog pages are
posted to your web site or to Pyra's BlogSpot
(http://blogspot.com) community blog server.
For more detailed information on this see O'Reilly's Essential
Blogging.
Re-read anything before you publish. Electronic text can
expose unintended meaning easily and it will also make what you
say a lot more focused. If nothing else, it should help you catch
spelling mistakes! Blogging is a way to share your opinions and
thoughts to the rest of the world. If you post interesting
things, share links with other bloggers and post comments on
other blogs. Linking is the way of the Web that is the key of
successful blogging.
In order to keep your blogs really fresh, invite a group of
your friends / colleagues and give them blogging access. That way
you will have several reporters blogging information and you
won't end up killing yourself, trying to keep your blog populated
with good information. If you use Blogger, upgrade to Blogger
Pro. You can have your team post to the blog from email, create
and syndicate your blog as an RSS feed, and a whole lot more!
Adding the ability to post comments on your blog extends
interactivity and usefulness to the blog itself.
Blogs are about community and information, and commenting is a
real way to gauge your viewer's blogging efforts. Blogging is one
of the quickest ways to update your site. Syndicating others'
blogs into your own site is another. There is a wealth of
information out there - just tap into it!
