What is blogging is the basic question in the minds
of any newbie. You would have just started browsing on the Internet and might
have accidentally stumbled upon a blog. You may have thought it as another website.
Then you may heard somewhere that anyone can do blogging free of cost. Then
that prime question would have arisen in your minds - What exactly do you mean
by blogging?
Defination:
A blog (or Web log) is a
discussion or informational site published on the World Wide
Web and consisting of discrete entries
("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the
most recent post appears first). The term "weblog" was coined
by Jorn Barger. The short form,
"blog," was coined by Peter Merholz,
who jokingly broke the word webloginto the phrase we blog.
Blogging is something that is hard to define. I
know you are not looking for definitions. Thus, let me try to explain it as
simple as possible.
Not
necessary to write anything in blogs:
Blogging is a piece of written article or a simple video or some images. You may write anything you want to write and publish it as a blog. No need to find publishers. No need to find cover page designers. Your content will be online in second accessible to anyone in the world. You may publish a video you have taken in the blog. Also you can publish an album of photos you have taken as a blog post. Overall blogging does not mean you have to write anything.

Anti-chronology:
Blog posts follow what you may call as anti-chronology. Suppose if you publish 5 blog posts in the Internet and when you open your blog you will see your 5th post first…then your 4th post...3rd post...and so on to the 1st post. So what happens is that the latest article/image /video you have posted come first.
