To Blog or not to Blog?
A little over a month ago I was not a blogger. I had heard of blogs but never actually read any. So how did I get involved with blogging, by purchasing a blogging system to make money for writing about what ever I wanted to.
Now I have become a daily blogger and most days I find things to write about easily others not so much. Then some days I ask myself why did I start doing this, at first yes I wanted to make more money. Now I see a bigger picture.
Here i s an article from Wikipedia on the definition of a blog:
A blog (a portmanteau of the term web log)[1] is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web and consisting of discrete entries (“posts”) typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent post appears first). Until 2009 blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject. More recently “multi-author blogs” (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and professionally edited. MABs from newspapers, other media outlets,universities, think tanks, interest groups and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic. The rise of Twitter and other “microblogging” systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into societal newstreams. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
The emergence and growth of blogs in the late 1990s coincided with the advent of web publishing tools that facilitated the posting of content by non-technical users. (Previously, a knowledge of such technologies as HTML and FTP had been required to publish content on the Web.)
A majority are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via GUI widgets on the blogs, and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.[2] In that sense, blogging can be seen as a form of social networking. Indeed, bloggers do not only produce content to post on their blogs, but also build social relations with their readers and other bloggers.[3] There are high-readership blogs which do not allow comments, such as Daring Fireball.
Many blogs provide commentary on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries; others function more as online brand advertising of a particular individual or company. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important contribution to the popularity of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (art blogs), photographs (photoblogs), videos (video blogs or “vlogs”), music (MP3 blogs), and audio (podcasts). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts. In education, blogs can be used as instructional resources. These blogs are referred to as edublogs.
As of 16 February 2011, there were over 156 million public blogs in existence.[4] On October 13, 2012, there were around 77 million Tumblr[5]and 56.6 million WordPress[6] blogs in existence worldwide. According to critics and other bloggers, Blogger is the most popular blogging service used today.[7][
As you can see there are a ton of blogs out here on the internet. The thing I see about blogging and this system is people helping people. It has been said if you help people get what they want you will get what you want. That is what I want to do with the Empower Network Blog.
I will continue to blog from now on because I see the benefits of this system. So blogging is my new profession.
