Blogs are everywhere and anyone can create a blog of their own, but what is a blog exactly? So here is my attempt to explain a blog in plain English. Blog in short stands for web log. It is a web page where a person, group or entity makes regular contributions or posts. You probably have a blog or “micro” blog of your own. Have you heard of Facebook or Twitter? In the simplest terms, that is exactly what these social media sites are … blogs. I guess Instagam would be a blog of sorts as well, it just focuses on pictures as the entries or posts.
However, the majority of blogs started are meant to be dedicated to a single topic such as metro Atlanta real estate with entries or posts made by an individual or group of individuals who are passionate about or seen as an expert on the topic like Stacey Williams (hint, hint). The regular maintenance of adding posts to the blog is known as “blogging” and the person making the posts is known as a “blogger”. The list of web sites contained in a blog post by the author deemed worthwhile or of interest is known as a “blogroll”.
The real question is this, should you be blogging? And if so, what should you blog about?
