Blogging: The New Generation Trend

Blogging

Blogging is fast becoming a trend in the world of internet. The word “weblog” was coined by John Barger back in 1997. It was taken from the words web and log which means logging or writing entries in chronological order. Later on, Peter Merholz used the term “blog” on his own website. Since then, the term “blog” is used and not for long, it has become a common term accepted worldwide.

What are blogs?

A blog can be a personal journal which recounts events in a person’s life on a daily basis. It can focus on specific topics that interest the blogger such as movies, food, music, sports, politics, news or business. Blogs are made up of text entries, music, videos, photos and images as well as hyperlinks that lead to other web pages. The person who writes these entries is called a blogger.

Typically, blogs provide a comment box where readers or visitors can leave their views or say something about the entry. A blogger may receive both positive and negative feedbacks from his readers. Those who enjoyed what they have read may bookmark that particular blog and come back regularly for more reading.
