豆知识 2009-04-08&04-11 博客时尚 (2/2)

 Blogs are websites that are organized by blog posts - these are individual news stories, like articles in the paper. Bloggers simply fill out a form like this one to post a new story. With the click of a button, the blog post appears at the top of the web page, just above yesterday's news. Over time, the blog becomes a collection of these posts, all archived for easy reference¹.

 

Also, Each blog post can become a discussion² through comments left by readers. Blogs make the news a two-way street.

 

But really, the fuss³ is not about how blogs work - it's about what people like you do with them that matters.

 

Let's say you have a blog about green living and outdoor photography. It reflects your unique perspective⁴. This helps you build relationships with your readers and other bloggers with similar interests.

 

Speaking of relationships, bloggers often work together. In addition to comments, you'll read each other's posts, quote each other and link your blogs together. This creates communities of bloggers that inspire and motivate each other.

 

Whether it's their ease⁵ of use or the opportunities they offer, blogs have been adopted in a very big way.

 

Since 2003, there have been over 70 million blogs created, each with its own version⁶ of news. So, the big deal about blogs is that they gave people like you the power of the media and created a personal kind of news that appeals to a high number of small audiences.

 

So, it's up to you - what will you do with this new power? There is likely a group of people out there who want to hear what you have to say.
