Let’s Learn

Blogs.
A ‘blog’ (short for weblog) is an online journal or news website which displays
information in a reverse chronological order. This means the most recent posts
and news appear first, at the top of the page. Blogs are used by a writer or a group
of writers to share their opinion on a specific subject. Working together with other
bloggers on the same blog is a good way of posting content much faster and more
efficiently. A blog is like a newspaper, so each blogger can focus on specific content.

Vlogs.
Video Blogs, or ‘vlogs’ as they are called, are blogs which contain mostly video
posts. Vlogs are also called ‘channels’ or ‘web channels’ as they are in essence
like a TV station. Both blogs and vlogs are popular and have a variety of content.
The types of blogs you can find online range from cooking to sports, gaming,
fashion, gardening, and so many more. Your imagination is the limit and it all
depends on the kind of information you want to share with the world.
