BLOGGING FOR BUSINESS
Define what a blog is
A blog is a website in which items are posted on a regular basis and
displayed in reverse chronological order.
Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”.
Individual articles on a blog are called “blog posts,” “posts” or “entries”.
A person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.

A blog comprises text, hypertext, images, and links (to other web pages and to video, audio and other files).
Blogs use a conversational style of documentation.
Often blogs focus on a particular “area of interest” also known as niche.
