Blogging 101 is mostly about the blogging   vocabulary. To understand blogs, you need to know   the terms blog, platform, domain, and web host.   Once you have mastered these key elements of   blogging, you can enter any conversation about   blogging with confidence. After you know what   exactly a blog is, you will be on your way to   passing the final exam of blogging 101.

Blog is short for weblog, which simply means a   series of online posts presented in reverse chronological order. That’s all! Most blogs are text,   but there are also photo blogs and video blogs. The rest of blogging 101 has to do with the technical   side of things. If you are setting up a blog, you will   need a platform, a web host, and a domain. A   blogging platform is a computer software program   that allows you to write posts and to update your   blog. Your platform is also what you use to design   the look of your blog, from color scheme to font size. The web host is sort of like the virtual file   cabinet where your blog is stored. Your computer  communicates with the host when you upload or edit a post. The domain is the online address of your blog, and usually ends in ‘dot com’. Now that   you know what a blog is, what a platform is, and   what domains and hosts are, congratulate yourself!   You have passed blogging 101.
