BLOGGING
HOW TO SUCCEED




Blogging

History

Origins

Before the advent of blogging, digital communication took the form of Usenet, which resembled bulletin board systems, commercial online services, such as Genie and CompuServe, both of which were replaced by the internet, e-mail lists, and Bulletin Board Systems, in which a user could login to the system and perform functions, such as reading news updates, and exchanging messages with other users.

In the 1990’s, Internet forum software, which is a web application for holding discussions and posting user-generated content, such as WebEx, created running conversations.

The modern blog evolved from the online diary in which people would maintain an updated account of their personal lives. Such writers styled themselves as diarists, journalists and journalers.

Early blogs were, quite simply, manually updated components of everyday web sites. However, the advent of tools to facilitate the production and maintenance of Web articles, posted in reverse chronological order, made publishing the blog posts available to a much wider audience.

Blogs can be hosted by dedicated blog hosting services, or they can be run using blog software, which is a category of software consisting of a specialised form of content management system specifically designed for creating and maintaining weblogs. Examples of blog publishing systems using blog software include:

WordPress – It is written in PHP, a programming language

Movable Type - It is written in Perl, another programming language

Blogger – The best known and most widely used

LiveJournal – It is a virtual community in which internet users keep a blog, journal or diary
