Excuse me but what is a ..

Blog? I'm sorry if I haven't googled the exact answer but I was more interested in your opinions . I never caught onto blogging but I could change my mind.

Blogging is just writing a commentary or article online, usually on a regularly basis. Kind of like a daily or weekly newspaper 'column'.

 

[Sunny]

I think it's sort of a personal journal, only it's made public, to share with others.

And sometimes they sell stuff, or if they have a large following companies might pay them to advertise on their blog.

For completeness sake, the original term was "web log" or weblog which, as others have said, was like a journal or diary but posted on the web. Along the way, it just got shortened to "blog".

I think it is short for weblog.

I think it is short for weblog.

Portmanteau of Web and Blog.

 

[OldFeller]

I think its a waste of your time and the writer's but don't quote me on that.

 

[Babs2u]

Portmanteau of Web and Blog.

I thought Web and Log created the word Blog.

True, typed too fast.

 

[Kaila]

Portmanteau of Web and Blog.

And is the converse also true?


Please excuse me.
I have no explanation of why that came to mind.

I've seen some people who refer to themselves as "professional bloggers". I would guess if you had enough followers, you could get $$$ from sponsors for plugging their products on your blogs. Thus, you'd be a blugger.

A lot of them travel all over the world paying their way by being "travel bloggers". I'm pretty sure nobody would pay anything to watch videos of me limping through airports, dragging my one-working-wheel suitcase behind me, catching the wrong trams, trying to get comfortable in a seat that's 2" narrower than my ample derriere, and sitting on the runway for two hours.

Don’t knock yourself. We could relate more to you than those pretty, young folks who pose at intriguing angles. Chin up, tip your head. You can do it too jujube.

Which one? All of them?

I think it's sort of a personal journal, only it's made public, to share with others.

Those often cozy comfortable blogs that chronicle a person’s daily life and experiences are the ones that I enjoy.

I shy away from blogs with some sort of preachy judgmental agenda.

 

[oscash]

I've heard of professional bloggers but never follow anyone. What I can't get my head around is professional Influencers. I don't think I could be influenced by these people who just want to put themselves up on screen and show off, in my opinion.

Blogs are full of aronyms: KPIs SERPs CTR CPA HTML JS CSS. And you thought that Cockney rhyming slang was difficult.
