What is a blog?

  A blog is a web log. A web log is pretty much an online journal. You can write about your thoughts, what your day was like, your feelings or anything else you want to share with the world.

Why should I make a blog?

  It can help you express your feelings or thoughts. You can use it to chronicle your life, make announcements or even practice your grammar. A blog can also be used to keep in touch with friends, family and relatives.

How do I make a blog?

  There are dozens of websites that offer good blogging services. If you have your own web space with PHP support and a MySQL database you can install a blogging script to use.

Websites that Offer Free Blogs

  Side Note: Blogger gives you an option to host your blog on your website without advertisements. They use FTP to update your blog every time you publish a new entry.

Blogging Scripts

  Both of these blogs come with instruction manuals, so I shouldn’t need to explain anything. If the blogging script doesn’t work make sure you’ve uploaded the files in the in the proper format ( ASCII or Binary ), set up the MySQL database, have a version of PHP that is at or above the specified requirements and CHMODed the directories and files to the correct permissions.
