Blogging Basics

When you enter the blogoshpere, you enter a world filled with its own jargon and buzzwords. To make matters more confusing, many terms in the blogosphere have multiple meanings or multiple names, depending on the blogging software a person uses. In truth, the nuances in names and meanings are less daunting than they might first appear to be (for example, you say "blogroll," I say "links") Then important thing is to understand basic blogging terminology and the language of Blogger users so that you can start you first blog.
The main features that separate a blog from other types of Web sites are its time-stamped entries, archived entries, and comments. Most blogs incorporate these same basic features and more. Depending on your likes, dislikes, or needs, you can add, delete, or modify features to display on your blog.
