What the Hell is a Blog

Here at magicdust we often get asked the above question, so we thought it best to address it for you.

“A blog (from the phrase web-log), is a website that is updated and maintained by an individual, with regular entries of observations, account of events, and other media such as video or music. Posts are made in reverse chronological order, and are usually publically available to view. ”

Now in terms we can all understand……..

A blog is like a diary of events or observances of this mad world we live in. The whole world is able to see your blog, so therefore if you are going to blog about personal information or other people I would suggest adopting an alias. You can blog about anything, you can blog about logs, dogs or frogs. What ever you blog about I suggest making you content concise and informative and if you can manage it ….. funny. You can embed videos, music and photos in your blog.

If you find you have people coming to your blog regularly and you are developing a bit of a following, you may want to consider advertising on your blog. Google Adwords and Blogs Ads are 2 small little companies* to approach that would love to advertise on you blog

We can embed a blog in you website for an additional cost or you can sign up to wordpress or blogspot for free. You can then create a link form you magicdust website to your blog
