What is a blog?
By admin | August 5, 2008
If you are considering starting a blog yourself you might want to think about some basics first.
Apart from the technical side, what do you want to write about and why? For pleasure,for potential profit? Narrowing down your motivations will help you decide on the theme, look and feel of your blog.
What are the 3 most common types of blog post?
- Information. Where you give,you guessed it , information on something. You could be giving an definition of something or more likely,an explanation or a description of whatever your niche or interest might be.
- Instruction. Pretty self explanatory really. This is the one where you are telling people how to do something.People learn in different ways, some by the written word,some by hearing and some by watching. Many blogs these days will take advantage of text,audio and video. Not this one because I am not up to the mark yet on audio and video,but my typing skills are improving!
- Inspirational. Those sorts of posts that are the sort of “could be”stories. Stories of personal success that inspire others to carry on, either in that particular niche or in life!
