Did You Know?

Blogs have been in use for a couple of decades and
are quite popular today. Their main goal is to share
information and views on various subjects.
There are many different types of blogs on the internet.
They might be operated by one or more writers. By
posting on blogs, writers share their opinion in written
or visual form, as articles or videos, respectively.
Setting up a blog differs as there are many providers,
but they all follow a similar procedure in doing so.

Fun Fact!

Blogging first started in 1994 by a
college student named Justin Hall. The
term ‘blog’, however, was first used in
1999 and is short for ‘weblog’. This
term was coined in 1997, referring to the
process of ‘logging the web’.
