History of blogging
Maybe “history” is a bit too ambitious word used in connection with blogging, because this history is short. It sounds more like a story to me. It all has started only little over 20 years ago. So, if you want to know how to start a blog, you need to know the roots and prospective of blogging. It’s hard to believe something so big now could be so small then.
Initially blogging and even the name “blog” were viewed as some joke. The name comes from two words: “log” and “web”. Logs were kept on ships or in some organizations. First blogs were started as personal journals, placed online. The word blog was used as a funny name for this activity, which initially got mocked down by some. First bloggers were even called names, such as “escribitionists”.
You see, diaries used to be very private. These people exhibited their private journals to the public. Such a practice was uncanny to that generation. No one could even imagine how massive it would become just some 10-15 years later.
So, the blogging story had a very humble beginning, but presently it is hard to imagine internet without blogs. They have tremendous impact on the world both online and offline. So, what is a blog? It could be just a diary, but it also could become a full time job.
