Here's How To Answer The Question: What Is A Blog

What Is A Blog

Many years ago, I was asked this question by an expert at affiliate marketing who asked: "I'm afraid you're going to have to educate me first. In a very short sentence, please explain what a blog is and how it works..."

That's the test to see if you know what you're talking about. Can you explain it - in a very short sentence - to someone who doesn't know anything about it?

Here's my reply:

"A 'blog' is short form for 'web log', a sort of online personal diary where *anyone* can reveal his/her innermost thoughts, feelings, desires, dreams, ambitions, hopes, fears... you get the point.

Yes, it's a website. With one small difference. It lists posts ordered by date, in a personal journal format, and is easier to create than a website - just involves typing into a form and hitting the PUBLISH button."

And that, in essence, is what a blog is!
