It seems like everywhere you go on the Web now, there are blogs and bloggers.
A couple years ago no one had any idea of what a blog was, now it is an essential part of many websites, from small developing sites, to huge websites.
But you are probably wondering "What is a blog?" A blog, short for web log, is sort of like an internet based journal that you can create and post on your website.
Your web log may cover your thoughts and opinions of new and emerging technologies, or maybe you run a fitness website and want to tell the stories of your training as well as training tips.
Whatever your story, or whatever you niche, a blog is a great way to publish your thoughts and stories so that people can see them.
Since the introduction of blogs, a huge network has emerged.
People who may have never had a chance to get out there thoughts or never have a chance to get noticed are now running some of the top blogs.
Take Perez Hilton for example.
Perez Hilton is just a normal guy from Florida who runs a celebrity blog.
There is nothing special about him, but he gets tens of thousands of hits on his website a day just for posting the latest celebrity news.
A blog is a great way to attract people to you website.
Maybe you are offering a product or service.
By creating a blog, you can keep your customers up to date on any news or developments, as well as allow potential customers to learn about your goals for your project.
