Web Blogs

Window to Your Soul

The first web blog was created in the early days of the internet. The main purpose of the blog was to let website owners post the latest news and let their visitors post comments and opinions, making websites a little more interactive and a bit more personal. Since the first web blog in 1997, the art of bloging has come a long way. Today there are thousands of sites dedicated to blogs and more are being created everyday.

These days blogging is not just to tell people the latest headlines. They are now used to update people about what's going on in your life. Used as a journal, a blog is updated daily with the highlights of that day. Then people who visit your site can share your happiness, comfort you when your sad, encourage you, give you advice, or comment on your layout and content.

In the beginning of the web blogging trend it was mandatory to have your own website. It was almost impossible to have a blog without knowing about HTML, CGI-Bins, PHP, FTP, and all the other tech things that come into having your own website. But as the art of web bloging has grown in popularity creating one has become more convenient.

Blogs are being used in many creative ways Project Blog is a site where web site owners can use their blogs to help a charity of their choice. Participants in the project find people to sponsor them and a legitimate charity they would like to raise money for. Then participants blogged every half hour for 24 hours straight on July 24th earning the money for the charity.

There are no set rules for making a blog in fact it doesn't even have to be about you. You can also post your latest poems, stories, jokes, or anything you find interesting on the web.

Happy blogging!
