Blogging
What is a blog?
The word blog is a shortened version of WebLog. A blog is a website that is created by an individual or a group to get a particular message out in written form. A writer can update the blog daily, weekly or as often as it works for them. Many blogs use other media such as video and social media to enhance their blog.
Share the Love
Many bloggers will have other writers guest post on their site, often on a regular basis. This helps writers gain a larger market opportunity to get their name and word out to additional readers. Sharing is said to help boost your site in the analytics for search engines. Writing a credible blog is part of your calling but it is also work to get a quality post ready. Having guest contributors write for you can be helpful in the business of life.

Your Response is Very Important
If someone cares enough to respond to your post, it is very important to respond in a timely manner. Everyone wants their thoughts to be heard, and not responding is like not listening. Your response as the writer of the blog is often amplified to the reader so be mindful of what you say and how you say it.
