Amazing Information About Blogging
A few months back, at the ITEA conference I saw this guy
sitting next to me typing constantly into his wireless laptop. He
was making notes on what the speakers had to say, was finding
relevant links and then hitting the send key - instantly updating
his Web site. No sooner the site was updated; he would get
responses back from readers around the globe. He was a
Blogger.
About Blogs
Several years ago, surfers started collecting information and
interesting links they encountered in their travels through
webspace. As the time passed they started creating logs of the
information they collected and soon they started creating their
own web logs. The web logs enabled them to update the information
and links as often as possible. This was what the guy in the
conference was doing. Improvements in Web design tools have
certainly made uploading and updating easier for them.
Blogs are more permanent than posts to an online discussion
list, more dynamic than older-style home pages. They are more
personal than traditional journalism, and definitely more public
than diaries. A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a
person's life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid
diary site. So, there are as many unique types of blogs as there
are people.
These are a few common characteristics of a blog, but blog
types may slightly vary. Some blogs provide succinct description
of judiciously selected links. Some others contain commentary and
links to the news of the day. Few are endless stream of blurts
about the writers day. Few others are - political blogs,
intellectual blogs, some are hilarious and some topic driven.
They are all - Weblogs.
More than a list of links and less than a full-blown zine,
weblogs may be hard to describe but easy to recognize. A blog can
be recognized by its format: a webpage with new entries placed at
the top, updated frequently. Often at the side of the page is a
list of links pointing to similar sites. Some sites consist only
of a weblog. Others include the weblog as a part of a larger
site. Even though there are so many different blogs, there is one
thing common about all the bloggers: most are noncommercial and
are impassioned about their subjects. Defining Blogs
A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and
Web links.
Blogs are alternatively called Web Logs or Weblogs. However,
"blog" is used unanimously because it seems less likely to cause
confusion, as "web log" can also mean a server's log files.
Blogs & The Worldwide Web
Both personal sites and lists of links have existed since the
web was born. Indeed, the ability to link one document to the
other that existed on the global network drew early enthusiasts
to the Web. They published pages and eagerly perused the pages
published by others. That was the time when the accessibility to
the pages from any computer with a modem and a browser was more
important than the content of that page. For a while, webpages
became an interesting addition to the cyberspace. Then the space
got crowded. As a result the web grew at an exponential rate and
search for the required information became difficult and
simultaneously more time consuming.
Until, a few of these enthusiasts decided to put the links
they collected daily onto a single webpage. These people placed
their stuff descriptive text and link/s, for example: their
travel records, on the web. The text enabled the reader to know
why they should click the link and wait for the page to download.
And so a particular type of website was born.
The New York Times article about a website named LemonYellow,
published in July 1999, didnt say a word about weblogs, but
affirmed the notion that webloggers were onto something.
Most of the early weblog editors designed or maintained
websites for a living. Few of these editors just knew HTML - the
simple coding language used to create webpages.
With Weblogs becoming popular, the personal websites became
extensions of their day-to-day lives. Webloggers started rolling
personal journals ongoing links-laden riffs on a favorite
subject. Soon they linked to general interest articles to online
games, and often to Web-related news.
