Blogs
Blogs seem to be the next big internet hype out there, yet there is still some confusion as to what exactly blogs are. Blog is short for web log, which is essentially an on-line journal or newsletter that is frequently updated and intended for the general public. A Blog can have either one author, coined blogger, or several. The great thing about blogs is that they are usually updated using software which allows the blogger to have little technical background, and also allows the blogger to express their views on any number of topics. Some blogs allow users to log in and add comments to the bloggers original posts. However you decide to use them, blogs are great because they help generate much needed traffic to websites. And the dynamic content is great for high search engine rankings, as the spiders love constant changing copy. Below are a few examples of Blogs.
