What is a Blog??

August 12, 2008 · Filed Under Blogs 

Two years back, I wanted to share my ideas and views with rest of the world. I found that having a web site will help me to interact with the world. I’m not competent enough in English so I just wanna start my site in Tamil.

As I began to explore more about setting up a web site, I found that setting up a web site and maintaining a web site needs much more technical knowledge. I almost given up and one day I come across http://www.blogger.com.

I started my Tamil Blog over their and leaned about blogs. According to Wikipedia

A blog (a contraction of the term “Web log”) is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual,[citation needed] with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

In my simple words I’ll say, Blog is a simple and effective platform which will help you to set-up your website within minutes. Also it’ll maintain articles or posts in chronicle order.

If you wanna set up a free blog, then you can make your account in blogger.com or wordpress.com. Both of those sites have their own pros and cons.

Once you master in blogging platform you can buy your own domain as I did and can install a famous blogging platform such as WordPress.

Enjoy blogging and share your dreams with rest of the world.
