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.

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

was difficult to me but now it is clear and comfort.
