By the end of 2004 blogs had established themselves as a key part of online culture. "Blog readership shoots up 58% in 2004 6 million Americans get news and information fed to them through RSS aggregators But 62% of online Americans do not know what a blog is." - Pew Internet & American Life Project
- How and Where Should I Start? You should begin your blog with a free blog hosting service such as Blogger (blogger.com), or other similar free services such as JournalHome.com, LiveJournal.com or Blog-City.com. The learning curve for using such free services allow you to spend more on developing your content rather than worrying about the advanced areas of scripting, hosting, or programming.

What do people blog for? Is it for fun, fame, fortune… for the good of the online community? I’ll tell you why I blog - it’s because I want to make money. I want to be like John Chow, Shoemoney, Pro Blogger - all those guys. I want to do what they do because every day they tell me that I can do it.
These pro bloggers are making money by telling us how to make money. I’ve been visiting these blogs for several months but it’s only now that I’ve taken the initiative to move from passively reading the achievements of pro bloggers to trying to emulate those achievements.
I consider myself a second level blogger. What I mean by that is that I am taking the information provided by the top level bloggers and making it apply to me. I am putting what they tell me to the test to try and make money.

It seems everyone these days is talking about blogging. Everywhere I go, I find articles and forums devoted to this craze. I also have heard from many moms who are trying to figure out what a blog is and how they can use one to their benefit.
The term "blog" is short for "weblog", which just means an online journal or "log". You can jot down personal thoughts and notes, post articles you’ve written or keep track of interesting websites you find. The sky is the limit, it seems, when it comes to blogging. A blog is something entirely of your own creation and you can use it to share your thoughts with the world, well….with anyone you can get to read it anyway.
