Blog Writing
Do you know what blogs are? In the beginning, a blog is a write-up that people
share online, and it dates back to 1994. In this online journal, you could talk about
your daily life or share things you do. However, people got an opportunity to
communicate information in a new way. So began the beautiful world of blogging.
What is a Blog?
A blog (shortening of “weblog”) is an online journal or informational website
displaying information in the reverse chronological order, with latest posts appearing
first. It is a platform where a writer or even a group of writers share their views on
an individual subject. Each entry is called a post.

standard features and structure. Here are some common features that a typical blog will
include:
• Header with the menu or navigation bar
• Main content area with highlighted or latest blog posts
