What is a Blog?

"Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day;
teach that person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.
~Author Unknown"

 


The word used to describe this process is a short form of the words

"Web Log"

and is a way of recording your thoughts, feelings, audio/visual recordings and pictures about an aspect (or aspects!) of your life, on the Internet. It is a way of journaling and sharing that journal with others who also surf the Internet.

Many paper crafters start such a journal in order to display their work, chat about paper crafts in general and get to know each other. Wikipedia (an online encyclopedia) has lots of information about what they are if you would like to read more, but sometimes the best way to understand something is to see an actual example (click on the picture below to see my own blog).

I started an online journal few years ago when I first found out how to make one and have continued it through the years. I called it Susan's Saga. It is a place I write about papercrafts and also about aspects of my life in Australia. I do add to it quite often, just as I add to PaperCraftCentral.com, but I use it for shorter messages and quick glimpses of work I have done instead of as an explanatory site.

Blog, what is a blog, journal

I just have to say, creating a journal like Susan's Saga is only one way to have a website. Since I started PaperCraftCentral, I have seen that a website has many more options and possibilities than a journal does. Different horses for different courses, I guess :)

P.S. If you are interested in having your own web business, do check out this Site Build It information about how to build one, step-by-step, even if you have no prior knowledge of how to get started! I had no idea how to build a web business before I found SBI. You do not need to know how to write in html code or anything like that either. You can build a site with no special knowledge about site building. Yes, you can!
