What is a blog and why is it important?

             Blogging has become so popular for those who want to be recognized for their interests, talents, accomplishments and to sell or market something.

           

           “A blog is a collection of blog posts.  It’s not a single article post. A post is single entry in a blog, similar to an entry in a diary.” (Deckers, and Lacy 1- 283)  People seem to think that the terms “blog” and “post” can be used interchangeably, but they can’t. 

           

            Her are six important reasons to blog:

                        1. “You want to establish your expertise.”

                        2. “You want to sell or market something.”  People can create blogs to make liquidity.

                        3. “You have something to say.”
                        4. “You want to share your passion.”

                        5. “You want to be part of a community.”
