Step #1, What Is A Blog?

"A blog (a contraction of the term weblog) is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. 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."

Main Parts To A Blog Include:

Archives - The most recent posting to the Blog gets listed first and below or within that posting can be an infinite number of other posts or comments. It’s like a big drop down file, with many sub-folders.

Postings/Comments - These are not necessary and not all Blogs include comments, although usually the posting of comments allows for a conversation to be created back and forth. Feedback can be given on any of the postings on the site.

Design- Once the basic text is written the original creator may also choose fonts, sizes, colors, backgrounds, pictures, and more. It really gives someone an opportunity for individual expression.
