The word "blog" is short for weblog. A weblog is an online (that means it’s on the Internet) journal or newsletter that is frequently updated and intended for family, friends, or the general public. There are personal blogs and business blogs. There are even blogs that generate a profit. Blogging is about getting a sneak peek into someone else’s life.
And getting that peek helps you realize that you’re not alone—that other people have crazy lives just like yours. It’s comforting to know you’re not the only one going through life’s ups and downs.
There’s also something therapeutic about putting your life into words—documenting events and sharing stories with other people. Let’s face it—life moves way too fast!
But if you’ve never blogged before, don’t be intimidated. A blog is merely an extension of yourself and your life. You can write it any way you want, about anything you want. You can tell stories about your crazy cat who’s pottytrained, your precious and oh-so-perfect children, or anything else anything else you’d like. Or, you can just ramble on about your views on life. Anything goes.
After all, who of us wouldn’t like to share our opinions with the rest of the world? Blogging is also a great way to find people who share your interests. No, it’s not a dating service—it’s about finding communities of people who have similar backgrounds, lives, or passions.
