Blogs and blogging are discussed. A blog is an informal website consisting of diary-style posts displayed in reverse chronological order. Originally the work of individuals, multi-author blogs from organizations are now common. The term "blog" was coined in 1999 as a short form of "weblog". Different types of blogs include personal, group, micro, corporate, and aggregated blogs. Earning money from blogging involves setting up a blog, driving traffic, converting visitors to subscribers, and selling products or services. Alternatively, blogs can earn money through Google AdSense by meeting requirements like having an account over 6 months old with at least 20 posts and 100 subscribers.
2. BLOG
• A blog (a truncation of the expression "weblog") is a discussion or
informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete,
often informal diary-style text entries ("posts"). Posts are typically displayed in
reverse chronological order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the
top of the web page. Until 2009, blogs were usually the work of a single
individual, occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject or
topic. In the 2010s, "multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts
written by large numbers of authors and sometimes professionally edited. MABs
from newspapers, other media outlets, universities, think tanks, advocacy
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 the news media. Blog can also be used as a
verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
3. HISTORY
• The term "weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger on 17 December
1997. The short form, "blog", was coined by Peter Merholz, who
jokingly broke the word webloginto the phrase we blog in the
sidebar of his blog Peterme.com in April or May 1999. Shortly
thereafter, Evan Williams at Pyra Labs used "blog" as both a
noun and verb ("to blog", meaning "to edit one's weblog or to
post to one's weblog") and devised the term "blogger" in
connection with Pyra Labs' Bloggerproduct, leading to the
popularization of the terms.
