To understand blogs, you need to know the terms blog, platform, domain, and web host. Blog is short for weblog, which simply means a series of online posts! The majority of blogs are text, but there are also photo blogs (plogs) and video blogs (vlogs).
If you are setting up a blogging website, 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. Livejournal and Blogger are two examples of this. 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 ".com".
And now you know the basic blogging website terminology!
