The Blog

crash course for new bloggers

THE BLOG

First off I need to know how this blog things work. What makes it tic and very popular to a lot of people? Why do this people (bloggers) do what they do? How they do well in it? And how one knows that one is doing well?

At this moment I am writing this (blog/article/thought or whatever you may want to call it.) using a word software version 2003 to spell check. Every time I type the word blog squiggly red line appears below the word, telling me that the word is either misspelled or that it does not exist. I know that the etymology of the word came from weblog (this word has a squiggly line as well.) defined by an online dictionary as an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a web page; also called Weblog. Simply a “log bookish” form online, Web-Log (no more squiggly lines!).

THE WHAT

What do people put in their blogs(darn squiggles!)? Are these just any random thoughts that comes across their (I don’t consider myself a blogger… yet) boring yet self-proclaimed creative minds? Some post poems, some song lyrics, some quotations and others write things that you don’t even know where to classify.

Or maybe keeping track of everything they do, did, regret doing, wanted to do, wish they have done or wish they have not each and every day of their God given lives using their time writing it instead of living it. We use it to reflect. But why do we have to use a web log? Beacause we can.

Very interesting. I myself find putting yourself on the web for people the web over to stare at and make comments a little bit nerve wrecking, but all people are different, and I cannot judge. Is red and blue significant? I find that when you write to yourself, you ask things and then explain them as you ask and voila, you have an answer! That incorporated into this creates a sense of confusion yet knowledge, and you just need to sort it out. Good write! :)
