What Every New Blogger Needs To Know
As you start of your career as a blogger, you are going to have to learn some of the important terminology which bloggers use. These are the four most important words for you to learn as a novice blogger: blog, domain, platform and web host. Once you learn these terms, you'll be able to discuss blogging as if you've been at it for years. When you understand how blogging works you'll have no trouble passing your blogging 101 exam.
Blog is short for weblog. A weblog, or blog is made up of posts which are organized chronologically, sort of like a diary, only online. Most blogs are text only, but there are a growing number of photo blogs and even video blogs. To start your blog, you'll have to learn a little about the technical details - hosts, webhosts and platforms.
First, let's address platform. Your platform is a piece of software which lets you write your posts and upload them to your blog. Platforms will also include design tools to customize the look of your blog.
Next are web hosts. A web host is the server which your blog resides on; think of it as a file cabinet. Your computer will talk to the host every time you edit a post or upload new content to your blog.
Last is domain, which is the address of your blog on the web. This address will usually end in .com.
Now that you've learned these three important terms which all bloggers need to become familiar with, congratulate yourself- you have completed blogging 101.
