What is a Blog?



Now that I’ve started blogging, I figured it might be a good idea to explain to those reading about blogs, and what the purpose of blogging is. Blogging has been around for quite some time, yet people still seemed to be confused about it. Here’s a quick Q&A I’ve formulated to clear up some confusion.

What is a blog?
A blog is short for a “web log”. A web log is a log, usually made from hickory or oak wood, which is then covered in a web. Like a spider’s web. 

When did blogging start?
The history of blogging is as old as the Internet. Al Gore invented the internet, therefore Al Gore inventing blogging.

Who is a blogger?
A blogger is someone who makes shoes.

Who blogs?
White people.

Where can I find blogs?
You can find blogs using these steps:
- Open up your web browser on your desktop
- In the text toolbar type in www.google.com
- Now you’ve accessed the Google website, awesome!
- On the Google website on the World Wide Web, type into the text toolbar, “blogs” and hit the “enter” key on your keyboard (if you’re using a Mac hit the “return” key!)
- There will be search results! All right!
- These results are called links. Double-click on them to access the blog websites on the World Wide Web! 

What is the purpose of blogging?
The purpose of effective and successful blogging should annoy most and interest few.

What information can I find in a blog?
You can find all sorts of information from reading someone’s blog. Many blogs are personal, like a diary or a journal. There are corporate blogs and blogs for specific genres of music, movies, and arts. Other blogs offer do-it-yourself tips on things such as furnishing, home repair, and cooking. 

Will I find any information like that on your blog?
Nothing you see or read on my blog will help you in in life.

Can I start blogging?
The real question is: Why haven’t you started blogging yet? You are a unique individual, and there are millions of people on the internet who are dying to hear what you have to say about mundane things. What’d you do when you woke up in the morning? Did you eat a sandwich for lunch? How did it make you feel when you ate that sandwich for lunch? People are dying to find out!

I hope this clears up any questions and curiosity regarding blogs. It took a lot of time for me to do this research and I hope it is well appreciated.
