After 8 years of playing online games, joining social networking sites and doing assignments using search engines, I now enter the world of blogging. Some say blogging is just easy to learn , I agree with them. When you have a little knowledge about internet, web designing and literacy, you can start blogging. Learning more and advance knowledge is the next step to improve your site.
What is a blog?
Blog is a blend of the term web log. It is commonly a part of a website or a website itself. It is maintained by an individual. Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs.

"As for my reason why I started blogging, to be honest, is I want to earn money online. I was in high school by that time and I was a tech lover, that’s why I thought I need to make money to add to my savings so I can buy the gadgets I crave for. After a while, I learned it isn’t that easy but I still continue to do it and also learned to love blogging."
My reason for blogging is to share personal articles about life, news, reviews and to earn money. I'm currently studying HTML to improve my web design. I'm also studying SEO for advertisments. Blogs are not just a simple diary. It's not a simple site with images and texts. Blogs can do many things. Now, what is your reason for blogging?
