Hello World!

So this is my first time participating in something like this. I was a little resistant I must say but I've decided to give this a shot. To start off with I want to look into what exactly is a blog? Is there a specific format? Are there certain types of topics that are usually discussed? To answer these I did a little bit of research to see if there is more than one answer for each and here's what I found:

.

According to Wikipedia.com:

“A blog (a contraction of the term "Web log") is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order.”

.

Evidently there is more than one type of blog:

.

Personal Blogs: More like a personal diary. Bloggers post regularly either to inform friends and family about their wellbeing and activities going on in their life currently, or is merely used to document important events or moments to remember in one’s life.

.

Corporate Blogs: They’re either used internally to enhance the communication and culture in a corporation or externally for marketing, branding or public relations purposes are called corporate blogs.

.

Question Blogging: This type of blog is a form of digital Q&A. Questions are posted and other users respond with their answers or opinions. A good example of this would be yahoo.com.
