Why Bloging »

by Melvin Ng

If you are one of the many people around the world wondering exactly what a “Blog” is and why everyone is so hyped up about, then jump on board and take a look around. Blogging has quite literally opened the windows to the world via technology.

People around the world and from all walks of life are blogging. It’s one word that young, old, rich, poor, and almost anyone somewhere in the middle has in common. So what is it?

Originally, weblogs, which is a term that has been shortened to ‘blog’, were essentially online journals that were kept in a log type format. These journals generally contained the most recent entry at the top and worked backwards from the newest to the oldest. They were originally personal pages only and not intended for commercial use. Over time that has changed but their origins were not monetarily driven.

There are many free blogging tools on the market, but loading up your blog with all of the free accessories that you can find isn’t necessarily a good idea. While it may be tempting to add a visitor counter, a flashy background, an exciting new font, and a cluster of quirky animated gifs to your blog, this kind of plan can easily backfire. The key to getting the most from free blog tools is being selective.

The use of blogs as part of an Internet business is now regarded as one of the best ways to help promote websites. Blogs are seen from the search engine point of view as important as they are normally updated on a regular basis. The best way to start using blogs is to focus on one niche for each blog and then to write good content on a regular basis. Once you have a reputation on a particular subject you will receive visitors wanting to read the latest posts. Try to write informative and helpful posts that will keep visitors returning. It is a good idea to write a snippet (a short version of an article) for example with a link to the full article. There are many sites to help promote blogs that will bring traffic to your blogs. It is normally a good way of getting targeted traffic to your other websites by linking from blogs. Search engines like blogs because they offer updated or new content that is useful to their visitors. Whereas normal websites use keywords as a means of getting visitors. Search engines will display their results based on the keyword phrases entered and then show the most relevant pages that have those keywords in their content. The advantage with blogs is that it is possible to use tags for posts. Tags operate in a similar way to keywords. For example if a post is made about home theater screens, then if it is posted using that tag then anyone searching on the various sites that use tags will find that post.

Blog is the prefer way and is a modern way to share personal experiences with the world wide web audiences and the masses. Blog is also a very good way for big corporations to announce their important news to their clients and prospects. Beside meeting face to face with their clients and prospects, blog helps big corporations convey their messages in a very personal aspect.

To read a blog is to read a short message, a long story of an event, a misspelled paragraph, a gibberish message, and everything else you can considered of. Blog is not your normal medium where you know beforehand certain standards are apply. For example if you read everyday newspapers, and you know how certain headlines are present, and sometime the headlines are convey enough meaning that you do not need to delve further into the detail. To read a blog you got to take a different approach because the headline of a blog sometimes mean everything, and sometimes it means nothing; so you have to really digging into the details after-all.

The world certainly has changed. Just the other day, someone I’ve chatted with online for years explained why she had not been more active in a group for thrifty moms. She said she was “all blogged down.”

Bogged down I understood. Moms around the world have probably used that phrase or the equivalent for years.

But “blogged down”? Had she meant that she was up to her ears in making entries in her own blog? Or had she become so addicted to reading the blogs of others that she was neglecting her other activities, both online and off? Good question, right?

Being “all blogged down” probably speaks for many these days, young and old.
