Communication and expressing thoughts for every single affair starting form government to domestic issues has become easier through routine use of websites. With the increase in regular internet traffic, a new phenomenon has come up –blogging, that has added craze among the public. But this is also true that more than half of the population, who are using Internet regularly are not aware of the trend. What exactly are web logs / blogs? How blogs are used? How it can be set up? These are the primary queries that are floating in people’s mind.
“Weblogs” or “blogs” are predominantly the simple way to put your opinion up on the Internet. It is a webpage that is frequently updated, usually with personal insights and web links. Each blog entry is typically short and to the point, sometimes with a link to a longer, extended entry. Traditionally, blogs were used as something like “online personalized diary” but as blogs became more and more popular, ‘businesses’ started to use them too. Now the blogs are used for many purposes like:
• Personal diaries
