Blogging Assignment

I have thought about putting up a blog for quite a time. But the other day our teacher in one of our marketing subjects (E-Marke) Mr. Adolf Aran, gave us an assignment to create a blog and write the definition of a blog and blogging-just the push I need to create this blog.

Now for the definition: A blog (or "weblog") is a type of website usually maintained by an individual 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.

Terminologies:
Blogging - authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog.
Blog posts - Individual articles on a blog other terms “posts” or “entries”
Blogger - A person who posts these entries.
Blogosphere - All blogs, or the blogging community. Also called blogistan or, more rarely, blogspace.
Blogstorm - When a large amount of activity, information and opinion erupts around a particular subject or controversy in the blogosphere, it is sometimes called a blogstorm or blog swarm.

Parts of a Blog:
Title – main title or headline of the post
Body – main content of the post
Comments – comments added by readers
Permalink – the URL of the full, individual article
Post Date – date and time the post was published
Categories (or tags) – subjects that the entry discusses
Trackbacks – links to other sites that refer to the entry

A blogsite typically contains a list of links, or blogroll, of other blogs that the author reads or affiliates with.
