What is Blogging?

September 9th, 2007 Categories: Blogging

So I have started my own blog. Finally.

So what is a Blog exactly? Wikipedia describes it as follows:

“A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) or sexual topics (Adult blog), and are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts.”

I have decided to use a blog to make “develop” a reference manual of everything I do from day to day in the IT industry. This will help me to look back after some time what I have done in a particular setup and improve on it again :)
