Blog

A blog….

"Blog" is an abbreviated version of "weblog," which is a term used to describe websites that maintain an ongoing chronicle of information. A blog features diary-type commentary and links to articles on other websites, usually presented as a list of entries in reverse chronological order. Blogs range from the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow subject or a whole range of subjects.

Many blogs focus on a particular topic, such as web design, home staging, sports, or mobile technology. Some are more eclectic, presenting links to all types of other sites. And others are more like personal journals, presenting the author's daily life and thoughts.

Generally speaking (although there are exceptions), blogs tend to have a few things in common:

§  A main content area with articles listed chronologically, newest on top. Often, the articles are organized into categories.

§  An archive of older articles.

§  A way for people to leave comments about the articles.

§  A list of links to other related sites, sometimes called a "blog roll".

§  One or more "feeds" like RSS, Atom or RDF files.

Some blogs may have additional features beyond these. Watch this short video for a simple explanation for what a blog is.

Blogger

A blogger is a person who owns or runs a blog or a person who maintains the blog. That is, posting articles or new posts, information, sharing the most up-to-date news, opinions and case studies to name but a few. Such entries are known as blog posts.

The blog content

Content is the raison d'être for any website. Retail sites feature a catalog of products. University sites contain information about their campuses, curriculum, and faculty. News sites show the latest news stories. For a personal blog, you might have a bunch of observations, or reviews. Without some sort of updated content, there is little reason to visit a website more than once.

On a blog, the content consists of articles (also sometimes called "posts" or "entries") that the author(s) writes. Yes, some blogs have multiple authors, each writing his/her own articles. Typically, blog authors compose their articles in a web-based interface, built into the blogging system itself. Some blogging systems also support the ability to use stand-alone "weblog client" software, which allows authors to write articles offline and upload them at a later time.

Uploading files to a blog

Blogging is a popular way to write for the Web. Many blogging platforms let you create new posts right in your Web browser. Formatting options available in your browser may be limited, however. Microsoft Word offers a wide variety of formatting features compatible with the Web, so composing your blog in Word gives you more control over its appearance. You can add Word documents to your blog in two ways: linking to the Word document within your blog text, or using Word's blog-post feature to publish text from a Word document directly to your blog.

1.     Log in to your blog's administrative area and launch the editor tool that you use to create new posts.

2.     Look for a button that allows you to upload files to your blog. You may have used this function previously to upload photographs. In WordPress, for example, the button is labeled "Media" and it gives you an option to add new items to a media library.

3.     . Upload the Word document that you want to place on your blog. If the blog does not accept DOC or DOCX Word files, trying saving your Word file as a PDF first. You can do this within Word with the "Save As" command, located under the File tab.

4.      Create a new blog post and click the button in your blog control panel that allows you to link to files you have uploaded.

5.      Select the Word document or PDF version from the list of uploaded files. This places a hyperlink in your blog post that visitors can click to view the Word document you want to share.

 

 

Publish a Word Document As a Blog Post

1. Open Microsoft Word and choose "New" from the File tab.

2. Select "New Blog Post" as the type of document to create.

3. Click the "Create" button to start the new document.

 Enter our blog login information when prompted to register your blog. Click "OK" when done. We will only need to do this the first time you use Word's blog post feature. The information is saved to Word's preferences.

5. Type the blog post in the document window. Word provides a labeled field for the blog title and a field for the blog body content. Be sure to enter the appropriate information in the correct fields.

6. Use the buttons on the "Blog Post" tab to format the appearance of the blog text. we can adjust font, type size, colors and more.

7. Click the "Save" command under the File tab as you work.

8. Click the "Publish" button on the Blog Post tab when we are ready to place our Word document online.

Reflection 

 

I was just heard about blog. But I was not aware about the blog, how to create and what are the importance of blog etc. our teacher taught us about blog and significance of blog. After heard that I was interested in create a blog. Then started to create, but as a beginner it was difficult to me but now it is clear and comfort.
