What exactly is a blog? Technically speaking it is a journal or a newsletter which is regularly updated and can be used by any one. In simple language it can be just stated as an online journal. It is the short form of weblog. The one thing about the blog is that they generally reflect the personality of the author or the website creator. The updating of the blog is termed as blogging and the person who keeps it is known as blogger. But the main question is how to create a blog? And the answer is not very tough. There are several options for which you can opt for.
The first and the easiest is the websites. There are many websites which offers you with the opportunity of creating your own blog. The charges of these websites are very nominal or in many cases free. Therefore there is all the more reason for you to create your own blog. The process of creating and uploading the blog is known as blog hosting. The performance of these websites is quite good. They post very little advertisements on your blog and in some cases even nothing.
The second option which you can go for is live journal. It is meant to be suitable for those who use user friendly vocabulary. This is more popular with the people who are not interested in learning web publishing. They don’t go for large audiences rather than target smaller and younger crowd. Live journal also provides you with facility such as locking so that only desired person can read your journal.
Another option is to launch your blog as a part of your existing website. The very easy and fast way is to create a HTNL document and add it on your website. This method is very easy for making changes. But it is always advisable to use advanced tools so that your journal looks attracting. And it will also help you to make changes easily.
Bloxsom is one tool which is available these days in the market. The very amazing part of it is that it can automatically create blog for you in desired format, thereby saving both your time as well as money. The best point about this software is that it’s really very easy to use it. What you have to do is to just write text lines for each blog entry and than you just have to put it into the bloxsom folder and the rest all will be handled by it. If you doesn’t like the final output than you can change the individual lines instead of going through each and every line again.
The software is compatible with every web hosting account which uses PERL and CGI programs. A UNIX shell account can really prove handy here but it’s not compulsory, you can also go for other ones.
