Blogging 101

 Blogging 101 is mostly about the blogging
 vocabulary. To understand blogs, you need to know
 the terms blog, platform, domain, and web host.
 Once you have mastered these key elements of
 blogging, you can enter any conversation about
 blogging with confidence. After you know what
 exactly a blog is, you will be on your way to
 passing the final exam of blogging 101.
 
 Blog is short for weblog, which simply means a
 series of online posts presented in reverse
 chronological order. That's all! Most blogs are text,
 but there are also photo blogs and video blogs. The
 rest of blogging 101 has to do with the technical
 side of things. If you are setting up a blog, you will
 need a platform, a web host, and a domain. A
 blogging platform is a computer software program
 that allows you to write posts and to update your
 blog. Your platform is also what you use to design
 the look of your blog, from color scheme to font
 size. The web host is sort of like the virtual file
 cabinet where your blog is stored. Your computer
 communicates with the host when you upload or
 edit a post. The domain is the online address of
 your blog, and usually ends in ‘dot com'. Now that
 you know what a blog is, what a platform is, and
 what domains and hosts are, congratulate yourself!
 You have passed blogging 101.
