There are many people who crave to write, not just for any particular reason but to put forth their experiences and share their ideas. Remember ‘Bridget Jones Diary’ – does it ring any bells – personal diaries that all vie to manage and maintain. Well, it is almost in the very nature of humans to be known by others and to know the others.
Blogging or blog writing is a relatively new phenomenon that started soon after web space was made available and free to the users. Blog is much like the page of a personal diary which contains the information a person wants to share, pictures, sketches, graphics and more. It looks like a website page but it is not. These online pages are made available free of cost and anyone can own a blog.
Blogging is indeed a new concept and a new way to present your views. To get a fair idea, imagine blog as a kind of big page in the middle of the city. Everyday people who pass by see it and at times write something on it. Sometimes a convinced fellow would come and write a comment. That is exactly how it is except that the big page that is called blog lies hanging in the virtual world comprising of computers, internet and networking services. Also that the small city referred earlier is actually the entire world and visitors may come from far off places, sometimes thousands of miles apart.
Ignore the critics, those who say blogging is an art. Blog writing is a very personal communication which a person shares with others. There is no specific style or format for writing. Blog can be written in any voice, reflect any mood or tone that the owner prefers to choose. So, it is not imperative to know about any specific rules of writing. It is like ‘Start writing for tomorrow will be too late.’
Blogging has many advantages over conventional modes of writing and sharing information. It is free and you don’t even have to pay for pen and paper; no paper work is involved actually. The reach is global, which means that whatever you put on your blog can be accessed and viewed from anywhere in the world. The retrieval is easy and the storage is secure. It is interactive and puts a person in contact with a global audience. One can say that blogging is a rich experience and of course a new way to socialize.
