The Basics of Blogging




With the advent of internet marketing, Web publishing



is continually gaining ground and popularity.



Nowadays, technologically savvy corporate businessmen,



or even business employees, use blogs to build and



manage relationships with their consumers. They share



their company’s expertise, culture and other



information, which can help develop the customer’s



interest in their products and services.





On the other hand, not only do businessmen venture in



the world of blogging but regular computer users too.



Not only can they voice out their opinions and



thoughts to others but also earn money in more ways



than one; from selling ad space to offering expert



services, which in turn builds their reputation as a



professional.





If you are thinking of entering the blogsphere, you



must be ready of the problems you might encounter in



several areas of blogging, such as: choosing,



installing and configuring your blog software tools.



Although the collection and assortment of



configurations vary widely, a neophyte blogger can



still get confused. The tools are not the only



obstacles you must overcome but also the terminologies



used for blogging.





Tools for Blogging





Basically, the software tools for your blog greatly



depend on your provider. For instance, the RSS



functionality can be absent from one provider but



present in another. Additionally, some blog software



tool providers can cost as low as $4 each month



depending on the extent of service you choose, while



others can be used for free but with limited services.





Choosing the right software tool depends on you. If



you have enough cash to spare for a blog or if you



want to really get serious with a blog and hope to



earn cash in the future, which is always a



possibility, you have the option of choosing priced



blog software tools. However, if you are a newbie



blogger, it might be advisable to start with free blog



software tool providers.





Fortunately, some providers that charge for their



services also offer free trial periods, which range



from 10 to 30 days. This is an excellent opportunity



to try and test out the services they offer without



paying any fee. Luckily, if you find a provider that



you are comfortable with and offer the services you



need, you can always use their free trial periods to



the full extent before subscribing.





Blogging Terminologies





Blogging is like a secret society and like most secret



societies; it has its own language that you must



learn. Although, technologically savvy individuals an



easily familiarize themselves with these terms, it



might be hard for those who have limited or no



background with Web publishing whatsoever.





Firstly, the most important term in blogging is Post.



A post happens every time you place or publish an



update to your blog; you also create a post this way.



Secondly, since blogs are a means of communication,



comments are also possible. If your audience leaves a



message regarding your published content, this message



is referred to as a comment. Normally, the comments



are labeled and time-stamped to allow you and other



readers to see who posted the comment and when it was



posted.





Comment spams, is also a term that happen when a



single reader continuously repeats the same comment



over and over again. This can be a headache for the



blogger as the blog can be used by the reader to



promote other blogs or Web site.





These are just some of the few terms that you can



encounter in blogging. Only exploration and experience



can help you understand the other terminologies
