A Blog is easy to use web-site, where one can quickly post his/her thoughts, interest, opinions, interacts with people. Blogs are very important to our community because it helps a lot of people express their feelings freely and anonymously. Also, people can get “real” unedited news through blogging. So blogging increases the level of awareness and information available to people.
Blogging communities can be created through the following:
- Hyperlinks-
- Comments –people can link to your blog through their comments that they post. Jacob Nielsen theory says one should ‘Write to Get More Comments. Turning a visitor into a commenter is a key way of building a relationship with someone’.
- One link and address to other address for example facebook Friendster, Hi5 etcetera
The content needs to be ‘Accessible and Readable’. It should be in an orderly manner, no point hiding any content. ‘A blog is nothing without content; it needs to stand out and shine through’. - People with shared interest are aware of its nature via word of mouth, recommendations and cite searching/ surfing.
- Bloggers must learn to update their blog on a regular basis to make people to come back.
