What is Blogging?
Blogging began in the late nineties. Since 9/11, a ton of new or re-centered sites redesigned the internet media environment. Today it’s found its way to being an essential part of online culture.
Think of it as a digital version of journaling. Journal entries evolved from journal log to web-log. Then from web-log it was shortened to blog (we(b-log).
Why Blog?
People blog for reasons, such as writing about their personal experiences, getting money, to share knowledge, engaging customers, etc. The most common reason people blog is they get to write out their passion. Which should be the major reason for blogging for any blogger.

- Keep it under 400 words. Make it short and sweet.
