There are hundreds of definition for this term ‘what is blog’ & ‘blogging’ and I really don’t want to confuse you to use any technical term to explain you blogging. And I really don’t want to add another definition to blogging.
In the simplest word a blog is nothing but a website & blogging is a creating a website & write on that website on regular basis say daily, weekly or even monthly. Now the question is what to write? You can write about your interest or your hobby or even about your day to day life experience.
So blogging is simply share your thoughts about something with the world through a website. A blog is very different than a traditional website because you can communicate with the world through the comment section in the blog.
Let’s take some example -
You are a women who cooks some of the delicious foods and you want to share your recipes with the world and after sharing, you want to know how they are liking this.
OR you have great knowledge about politics and want to share your thinking & your opinion about this with the world, want to know how other think and you even want to learn from others.
OR you are a financial consultant who knows ups and downs about the market and can educate people through their tips so they other can get the benefits of your knowledge.
All this can be possible through either newspaper or TV or radio but in all the cases you can’t communicate with your audience.
But with blogging you can do everything above and also communicate with your audience. You can know how your readers think about your writing, what they want to listen from you in the future and how can you write more appealing contents on your blog.
