The word blog comes from 'web log'. It is nothing more than a website or web page that functions like a journal. It contains content, most often reflections, comments and opinions.
The Internet has reached a stage where the barriers to entry are high and lucrative opportunities for independent content creator are few. Today the Internet is an extremely crowded party, the music is blasting and everyone is screaming loudly!
Companies have blogs, universities have blogs, newspapers have blogs and blogs have blogs ! :D
Where you choose to 'blog' is perhaps the most important decision you will make as a Blogger. So one need to find a platform where you can develop your niche, focus on creating exceptional content, share, build community and preserve your hard work.
You do not have to reinvent the wheel, but you need to add a new spoke or two!
Publish on a set schedule and cover a topic you know better than anyone else.
Share your content because if you blog but you don't share, you may as well write a physical diary.
Do not write for money. You need to focus on true writing first because blogging is NOT a get-rich-quick scheme. It is more like a work-for-free-for-a-longtime-and-then-reap-your-reward.
Google provides Google Blogger Service for publishing blogs. It was developed by Pyra Labs, which was bought by Google in 2003.
