Understanding the Blogging Phenomenon part 1

When blogging hit the web, it did so with a bang. Blogging is now one of the most

popular forms of communication via the web. Before, web surfers would simply

browse through sites with preformatted text on them. There was very little chance

for a surfer to comment on a site or to offer their opinion on anything. If a surfer

wanted to voice their opinion via the web, they had to start their own webpage.


Starting a webpage is perfect for some surfers, but it is way too complicated for most.

In addition, starting a webpage usually takes a small investment, which is something

not many surfers want to offer up just so they can post their views.

People today can find blog sites that offer blog space for much less than a typical

webpage. Many sites will offer blog space for free. When you begin a blog, you will

notice that they are all laid out basically the same way. Some experts will call their

layout the last-in-first style.

This is a very tricky name that simply notes that the last

thing the person, or blogger, wrote will show up at the top of the blog. Most

blogging software allows for this automatically. When you sign up at a blogging site

and are given your own blog space, you will likely see that after you finish typing

your post and submit it, the blogging software will automatically put your last entry

at the top of your blog.

This helps your readers stay current without having to scroll

through many posts.
