Most number of mails that we get revolve around content for blog. It appears that most bloggers start off writing about a certain subject and then slowly lose way. That happens because they feel that there aren’t many readers on the subject they are writing!! Well, maybe that could be the case if you are writing about very specialized subjects. For most of the others there could be other problems plaguing us.
We have listed out few of them. Check out for yourself if your blog is not party to this.
· Blogs are fairly unregulated in content. But be careful and sensitive to what you write. A lot of impressions are formed about you as a person while reading your posts. I have read many blogs that talk about ‘sex’ or ‘race and caste discrimination’ but treat the subject with so much maturity that it generates healthy debates and comments.

We have received mails from people who would like us to explain the basic terminologies about blogging. Apparently, these are terms that are widely used without correct interpretation available.
To a lot of you who have already started blogging, you might run through it and let us know if we have missed out any terms that can be included in this list
We have categorized all the terms into different sections for better understanding. With these terms, you will definitely be in a position to start your very own blog.
Blogs and Blog sites:
Blog – It has been derived from the term ‘Web log’. It is usually maintained by an individual, with regular posts containing text matter, pictures or videos. The key feature of blogs is that readers can leave behind their comments thereby making it interactive and participative.
Blog Post – An entry written and published on a blog is called as blog post.
