“meta alert”!
(“blogging about blogging’)
(akin to “writing” about “writing”)
(not quite ‘dancing’ about ‘architecture’)
(or ‘writing’ about ‘music’)
(thanks elvis!)
(the ‘costellian’ variety)
.
(a truncation of the expression weblog)
.
-a blog is a ‘discussion’ or ‘informational’ website published on the ‘world wide web’ consisting of ‘discrete’ (and often ‘informal’) ‘diary-style text entries’ (aka “posts”)-
.
(‘posts’ are typically displayed in ‘reverse chronological order’, so that the ‘most recent post’ appears first (at the top of the ‘web page’))
(until 2009, ‘blogs’ were usually the work of a single individual (occasionally of a ‘small group’) and often covered a single ‘subject’ or ‘topic’)
(in the 2010s, “multi-author blogs” (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of ‘authors’ and sometimes ‘professionally edited’)
(‘MABs’ from ‘newspapers’, other ‘media outlets’, ‘universities’, ‘think tanks’, ‘advocacy groups’, and similar ‘institutions’ account for an increasing quantity of ‘blog traffic’)
(the rise of ‘twitter’ and other “microblogging systems’ helps integrate ‘MABs’ and ‘single-author blogs’ into the ‘news media’)
(“blog” can also be used as a ‘verb’, meaning to maintain or add content to a ‘blog’)
(‘blog’ a ‘blog’) = (“book a book”)
or
(‘blog’ in a blog’ / ‘blog into a blog’ / ‘blog’ for a blog’)
(?)
(the ’emergence’ and ‘growth’ of blogs in the ‘late 1990s’ coincided with the advent of ‘web publishing tools’ that facilitated the posting of ‘content’ by ‘non-technical users’ who did not have much experience with ‘HTML’ or ‘computer programming’)
(previously, a knowledge of such technologies as ‘HTML’ and ‘file transfer protocol’ had been required to publish content on the ‘web’, and as such, early ‘web users’ tended to be ‘hackers’ and ‘computer enthusiasts’)
(in the ‘2010s’, the majority of ‘users’ are ‘interactive Web 2.0 websites’, allowing ‘visitors’ to leave ‘online comments’ and even message each other via ‘GUI widgets’ on the ‘blogs’, and it is this ‘interactivity’ that distinguishes them from other ‘static websites’)
(in that sense, ‘blogging’ can be seen as a form of (a) ‘social networking service’)
(indeed, ‘bloggers’ do not only produce ‘content’ to post on their ‘blogs’, but also build ‘social relations’ with their ‘readers’ and other ‘bloggers’)
(however, there are ‘high-readership blogs’ which do not allow ‘comments’)
(many ‘blogs’ provide ‘commentary’ on a particular ‘subject’ or ‘topic’, ranging from ‘politics’ to ‘sports’)
(others function as more personal ‘online diaries’, and others function more as ‘online brand advertising’ of a particular ‘individual’ or ‘company’)
(a typical blog combines ‘text’, ‘digital images’, and ‘links’ to other ‘blogs’, ‘web pages’, and other media related to its ‘topic’)
(the ability of readers to leave ‘comments’ in an ‘interactive format’ is an important contribution to the popularity of many ‘blogs’)
(however, ‘blog owners’ (or ‘authors’) need to ‘moderate’ and ‘filter’ online comments to remove ‘hate speech’ or other ‘offensive content’)
“they ‘need’ to’? (do they?)”
(or else…?)
(or else they run the risk of having the ‘blog hosting site’ delete their blog?)
(“and what if this ‘hypothetical blogger’ were ‘haters’ as well?)
(definite ‘hate’)
(most blogs are primarily ‘textual’, although some focus on ‘art’ (aka ‘art blogs’), ‘photographs’ (aka ‘photoblogs’), ‘videos’ (aka ‘video blogs’ or “vlogs”), ‘music’ (aka ‘MP3 blogs’), and ‘audio’ (aka ‘podcasts’))
(“micro-blogging “is another type of ‘blogging’)
(featuring ‘very short posts’)
(in ‘education’, ‘blogs’ can be used as ‘instructional resources’)
(these blogs are referred to as ‘edublogs’)
(as of ’16 february 2011′, there were over 156 million ‘public blogs’ in existence)
(on ’20 february 2014′, there were around 172 million ‘tumblr’ and 75.8 million ‘wordpress’ blogs in existence worldwide)
.
(according to ‘critics’ and other ‘bloggers’, ‘blogger’ is the most popular ‘blogging service’ used today)
.
(why rely on ‘critics’ and ‘other bloggers’ to draw this conclusion?)
(aren’t there more concrete ‘3rd party’ stats available for ‘most users’ in a ‘blogging service’?)
.
(however, ‘blogger’ does not offer ‘public statistics’)
(why not?)
