    2. What is a Blog ?
      • A blog is a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
      • The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.
      from Wikipedia
      • Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts.
    3. What’s a Photo-Blog and why do it?
      • A photoblog (a.k.a. photolog) is a form of photo sharing and publishing in the format of a blog, but differentiated by the predominant use of and focus on photographs rather than text. Photoblogging (the action of posting photos to a photoblog) gained momentum in the early 2000s with the advent of the moblog and cameraphones.
      from Wikipedia

    6. What’s a Photo-Blog and why do it?
      • Yes, it’s a big deal because its different !!
      Ok, its just a display of photos! I do it all the time by uploading & showing photos on Flickr, Picasa Web Albums, Zoomr etc. BIG DEAL??!!
      • Flickr, Zoomr, Picasa Web Albums, etc. are photo sharing websites where you can create albums & show photos, period!
      They are not blogging services & you don’t blog there!!! An aeroplane has wheels but that does not mean you should use it to travel on road!!
    7. What’s a Photo-Blog and why do it?
      • But why isn’t Flickr and its likes are blogging services ?
      • Because Flickr guys say it themselves that they are photo sharing service, not blogging service!
      • As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs. And thats just 1 search engine for blogs. How many are tracking such things on Flickr or Picasa etc.?
      Ok.. Ok, so what’s the big deal about it ?
      • Also ask that from Technorati or Google or other blog search engines!!
    8. What’s a Photo-Blog and why do it?
      • There are a lot of update services like Google Blog Search, Technorati, blo.gs etc. which get notified when you post something on your blog and the world gets notified this way.
      • Do a search for any thing & you will find a number of blogs in the search result on any search engine. The contest is fresh, its updated & hence it gets more attention by search engines.
      Benefits ?
      • You can reach a much wider audience with a Blog.
      • If you are into selling your photos in any form, then you have a much better chance!
