As you start off your career as a blogger, you are going to have to learn some of the important terminology which bloggers use. These are the four most important words for you to learn as a novice blogger: blog, domain, platform and web host. Once you learn these terms, you’ll be able to discuss blogging as if you’ve been at it for years. When you understand how blogging works you’ll have no trouble passing your blogging 101 exam.
Blog is a short form of the word weblog. A blog consists of a series of posts which are organized by date. A blog is something like an online diary, but of course your blog can be about anything you like. While the majority of blogs are only text, you can see a lot of video and photo blogs out there as well. You’ll need to know a bit about the technical aspects of setting up your blog to get started.
First we should talk about platforms. A platform is the software which provides you the ability to write and edit your blog posts, as well as to place theme on your blog. There are also tools included to help you customize the look of your blog, letting you adjust colors, fonts and other design elements.
The next term is web host. A web host refers to the company (or a server owned by that company) which is the “residence” of your blog. Think of it as a sort of file cabinet where the blog posts you write are stored.
Last is domain, which is the address of your blog on the web. This address will usually end in .com.
Now that you’ve learned these three important terms which all bloggers need to become familiar with, congratulate yourself- you have completed blogging 101.
