Blogging 101 is mostly about the blogging   vocabulary.
To understand blogs, you need to know   the terms blog,
platform, domain, and web host.   Once you have mastered
these key elements of   blogging, you can enter any
conversation about   blogging with confidence. After you
know what   exactly a blog is, you will be on your way to 
passing the final exam of blogging 101.  

 

  Blog is short for weblog, which simply means a   series
of online posts presented in reverse   chronological order.
That's all! Most blogs are text,   but there are also photo
blogs and video blogs. The   rest of blogging 101 has to do
with the technical   side of things. If you are setting up
a blog, you will   need a platform, a web host, and a
domain. A   blogging platform is a computer software
program   that allows you to write posts and to update your
  blog. Your platform is also what you use to design   the
look of your blog, from color scheme to font   size. The
web host is sort of like the virtual file   cabinet where
your blog is stored. Your computer   communicates with the
host when you upload or   edit a post. The domain is the
online address of   your blog, and usually ends in ‘dot
com'. Now that   you know what a blog is, what a platform
is, and   what domains and hosts are, congratulate
yourself!   You have passed blogging 101.
