Blogs are usually (but not always) written by one person and are updated pretty regularly. Blogs are often (but not always) written on a particular topic - there are blogs on virtually any topic you can think of. From photography, to spirituality, to recipes, to personal diaries to hobbies - blogging has as many applications and varieties as you can imagine.

It turned out that Google’s timing was perfect, and Blogger’s hundreds of thousands of users quickly turned into millions.

Those upgrades and redesigns would allow the new Blogger to retain its position as the leader in a market that was growing more and more competitive every day. The blogging platform that was once considered the “beginner’s tool” continues to attract new users at a staggering rate.

STARTING A BLOG

From your neighbor next door who shares her joy of knitting to big companies, celebrities, and everyone in between, it seems that every person reads blogs, knows someone who writes a blog, or writes their own blog. As of November 2008, Technorati, the original blog search site, was tracking 112.8 million blogs. That’s a lot of blogs, and that means a lot of people are blogging.

Deciding to start a blog is easy enough, but it’s important to understand that the decision means more than just writing some posts that you can point your friends to online. Blogging can have far-reaching effects — some good and some bad. Make sure that you fully understand what those effects are before you start writing and publishing content on your blog. Successful
bloggers know who else is blogging and what it means to be a member of the blogosphere.

Joining the blogosphere

Did you know that bloggers who actively publish content to their blogs operate in an online community called the blogosphere? When you start your blog, you automatically become a member of the blogosphere community. As a member of the growing social Web, you can express your thoughts and opinions, interact with like-minded people, and more simply by writing your own blog, responding to comments left on your blog, and even leaving comments
on other blogs that you enjoy reading.

Truth be told, as a member of the blogosphere, you have the ability to decide what role you want to play in that community. You can play a role in the blogosphere by passively reading blogs, commenting on blogs or writing a blog as a blogger. In fact, bloggers come in all shapes and sizes and with differing views and passions, but it’s the blogosphere that allows them to connect
easily with each other through the commenting feature found on just about every blog. Blogging is now an integral part of popular culture, with blogs existing to discuss just about any topic you can imagine.
