  2. The video that Ms Bonello showed use explained clearly what a blog is.... the advantages are that everybody can comment.Bloggers spend most of their time sharing their ideas and insights with their readers. But if you listen, you’ll find that your readers share a lot with you too.I know many bloggers who struggle with their full time blogging. They love blogging but they don’t have a fix source of income. Some choose freelance writing job for earning money and few choose to depend on their parents to fulfill the need of money.

  5. Weblogs can be used to make money from your website: a good, well-written blog can keep visitors rooted to your website long enough for some of the actual content of your site to filter through to them. In fact, they could become so absorbed in what you have written in your blog that they return again and again - just to keep up-to-date with the latest activities you are writing about in your blog. A blog, used to advantage can make all the difference to your personal website.

  6. Advantages:
    The consumer and citizen are potentially better informed and this can only be good for the long-term health of our societies and economies.
    Blogs have potential to help the organization develop stronger relationships and brand loyalty with its customers, as they interact with the ‘human face’ of the organization through blogs.
    Blogs, in an intranet environment, can be an excellent way of sharing knowledge within the organization.
    Blogs can be a positive way of getting feedback, and keeping your finger on the pulse, as readers react to certain pieces, suggest story ideas, etc.
    Blogs can build the profile of the writer, showcasing the organization as having talent and expertise.
    They build a connection between the blogger and his/her readers.
    Disadvantages:
    Most people don’t have very much to say that’s interesting, and are unable to write down their ideas in a compelling and clear manner.

  7. Blogs are web logs that are updated on a regular basis by their author. They can contain information related to a specific topic. In some cases blogs are used as daily diaries about people's personal lives, political views, or even as social commentaries. The truth of the matter is that blogs can be shaped into whatever you, the author, want them to be.
    Blog's give you an opportunity to write content that is unique to you and your practice. While some people are uncomfortable with self promotion, your blog gives you an occasion to interact with your visitors while promoting who you are and what you do.
    Today blog’s are being used for all sorts of purposes. You have companies that use blogs to communicate and interact with customers and other stake holders. Newspapers incorporate blogs to their main website to offer a new channel for their writers. Individuals also created blogs to share with the world their expertise on specific topics.

  8. Blogs are a way of how people can express them selfs and share ideas with other people. These blogs can even inspire some people and they can even establosh their ideas more. Some people can be waiting for the blogger to blog so they can see what they came up with. Most of the bloggers blog by a user name and visitors wouldn't have a clue on who it is. They like people to see them as the writer not the person they really are. They like to keep their identity a secret. The video our teacher showed us made me understand more what a blog is.
