I started blogging around 6 months back. I never used to read any articles about blogging or any blogs till one year back. I was not aware of this powerful tool nor its reach. I thought it a waste of time partially because i failed to understand the basic difference between a website and a blog! I started blogging as a means to express myself even if no one is listening:)I am an amateur writer if you agree that writing reports, speeches and mc scripts amount to creative writing! So obviously when i started blogging i started writing as i used to - frank,open and in detail.
Now last week i was asked to give an introduction to e-world to a group of youngsters who were attending a Jesus Youth national campus leaders training at alwaye. I did a bit of homework and came to understand that what I am writing as blogs doesn't fit the category of blogging. My writing style is lengthy which is strictly against the short and brief posts critical to blog audience. Blog was such a hit because it fits the current life situation-fast,brief but highly professional in content. No wonder even actors,politicians turn to blogging to express their views.
In my search i came to know the difference between a website and a blog, a personal blog and a professional blog,the concept of group blog and 10 ways to improve our blogging.I am pasting it down here for those who are new to blogging like me:
