A Web log, a.k.a. blog, is basically a journal posted online where the world can read it.  Some treated their blog just as such, and only post entries about their lives and personal challenges. Others use their blogs to promote ideas from religion and politics to cooking and crafting.

Do you want to share your unique thoughts and opinions with the world? Of course you do. What is the point in having an opinion if you never share it? The blog is an amazing opportunity for the everyday person to be heard by an unlimited number of readers. Whether you are raising your first child, mending your second marriage, building your tenth website, or growing a home garden, you have things to write about. Better yet, you have advice to offer those who face the same challenges you have already conquered.

The History of Weblogs

In December of 1997 the term web log was coined by Jorn Barger. This was later shortened by Perter Merholz, who broke the word into we blog. The shorter version, blog, was soon commonplace.

Political blogs and other hot topics resulted in millions of page views for several successful bloggers in the late 90's. This did not go unnoticed by software developers and web hosts. Before long there were sites and software available for anyone with a desire to start their own blog, often for free.

Where Can I Start Blogging?

This is an easy one, EVERYWHERE. There are literally thousands of places you could potentially start your blog. If you or a friend has a personal website you can use one of the many programs available online to create your blog there. Hosting providers often offer you blog building software for free. Many companies offer blog space to their employees, but you may feel restricted from sharing certain topics at work. Another option is the ever-so-popular MySpace.com. MySpace is a online social community which offers a free webpage with blogging capabilities.

Today there are many sites devoted to blogging, a few of these include: Blogger.com, Blogthing.com, BlogThat.net, TheBlogs.net, BlogText.org, ImgBlogs.com, and RapidBlogs.com
