What Is A Blog?

A blog is a place where people from all walks of life can write about their life or their experience. A blog is essentially a personal website that is useful for distributing information across the world to people from all walks of life and lifestyles. People upload information about a certain subject then another person will read this information and make up there own mind, for example a husband and wife with two children go on holiday to turkey. When they get back they write a blog on what a lovely place it was and how child friendly it is. Then family number two is on the blog one day and reads family one’s blog and then decides to go to turkey with there three kids. In my case I am a student writing a blog about my coursework for one of my units which could help a student somewhere else who is also doing the same course.
