BLOGGING

- 

A POOR COUSIN OF VLOGGING - BUT MORE ENRICHING


Dear Reader,

In 1994, the very first blog was created by Justin Hall on Links.net. At that point of time, the term “blog” had not been coined and Hall referred to it as his personal homepage. 

The actual terminology of blog is "weblog" – a term was coined by Jorn Barger on December 17, 1997. The short form "blog" was coined by Peter Merholz, who jokingly broke the word weblog into the phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog. A blog, short for weblog, is now a known frequently updated web page used for personal commentary or business content.



Amit Agarwal, founder of Labnol, is widely credited as being India's first professional blogger. Back in 2004, Agarwal quit his stable job in a well-known tech firm to work full time on his blog.



BLOG vs VLOG

A blog is very similar to a website, where one can find content regarding any topic in a written/text format, along with images, gifs, etc. A vlog, on the other hand, consists of video content published on any topic. Adam Kontras (US) was the first vlogger to have uploaded on January 2nd, 2000 a 15-second video of himself sneaking a cat into his apartment building into his blog post.

Vloging thus commenced in the early 2000’s but its popularity increased around 2004 / 2005. Many people use the terms vlog and YouTube channel interchangeably, but this is a mistake. In fact, there are a number of important distinctions - a YouTube channel is a platform, whereas a vlog is the actual content.

A blog or a vlog is a very effective diary or journal used by individuals, brands and companies. Both blogging and vlogging are concerned with generating the maximum amount of traffic for a website or, promoting a business or a person.



TYPES OF BLOGS

PERSONAL BLOGS

The personal blog is an ongoing online diary or commentary written by an individual, and usually attracts very few readers, like the blogger's immediate family and friends.


COLLABORATIVE / GROUP BLOGS

The collaborative blogs in which posts are written and published by more than one author, are organised according to a single uniting theme, such as politics, technology or advocacy. Group blogs are set up by already established bloggers both to reduce the pressure of maintaining a popular website and to attract a larger readership. 


MICROBLOGGING

Microblogging is the practice of posting small pieces of digital content - which could be text, pictures, links, short videos, or other media on the internet. Microblogging offers a portable communication mode that feels organic and spontaneous to many users. It has captured the public imagination, in part because the short posts are easy to read on the go or when waiting.

Twitter is a classic example of microblogging whilst Instagram is a type of microvlogging.


CORPORATE OR ORGANIZATIONAL BLOGS

Individuals or organization may aggregate selected feeds on a specific topic, product or service and provide a combined view for its readers. This allows readers to concentrate on reading instead of searching for quality on-topic content and managing subscriptions.


AGGREGATED BLOGS

Individuals or organization may aggregate selected feeds on a specific topic, product or service and provide a combined view for its readers. This allows readers to concentrate on reading instead of searching for quality on-topic content and managing subscriptions.

    The intention is to continue boring you for ever and ever till my brain tells me to stop and heart agrees with the frontal lobe. So, keep reading. Keep enriching oneself. 

    Understand the difference between substantiated facts and hearsay casual advisers when especially health blogging, and where nutrition talk in food blogging is concerned. Ultimately, when indulging in serious data search or if knowledge discovery or imbibing is the intent, the longer blogs have always been most sought after - evidence is that these have more inbound links. Your reverts ad personal feedbacks have encouraged my dedication towards persistence in blogging.

    The difference is akin to a Test match and a T20 game. For knowledge rely on DRRKSANGHAVI.BLOGSPOT.COM but for a one-day fan many options are available like kuchkas.blogspot.com. 

    👍

    CELEBRATING THREE SUCCESSFUL YEARS AS A DEDICATED BLOGGER.

        # RKS: INTERMITTENT FASTING CULT FOR WEIGHT LOSS A PASSERBY OR HERE-TO-STAY RKS / 2024-2025 / Ser 6 / Blog 2 1st November 2024 INTERMITTENT FASTING ALL SET TO RULE THE SCIENCE BEHIND Dear Reader, Fasting is the act of refraining from eating, and sometimes drinking. Fasting practices may have first emerged around 1,500 BC in the Vedic, Hindu and Jainism religions.  Prophet Adam was the first person to ever fast in human history. It is believed that the first fasting (done by Prophet Adam) was after his descent to earth and God’s acceptance of his prayers and repentance. It is also believed that he fasted 3 days each month during the entire year; they are the 13th, 14th and 15th. Fasting was commonly practiced in earlier times on 'holy' days to reduce the harm to plants and  animals caused by harvesting and eating.  Fasting has also been used for therapeutic  purposes since at least the 5th century BCE. Greek physician Hippocrates recommended  that p...

    # RKS: SANTIZING & SANITIZERS - More Than Meets The Eye

    Image
     # RKS: SANTIZING & SANITIZERS  - More Than Meets The Eye 1st October 2020 Dear Reader, I always remember how I was pulled up in yesteryears for washing my hands - a wee bit too frequently - by family, friends, and even Dr colleagues. After touching each patient, even for checking mere BP or pulse (including a socially visiting relative or friend), always washed hands; before touching any eatable and always after finishing food washed hands with water.  In AI flights there is yet wet wipes given but the practice has stopped in other airlines but I continued washing my hands even as seated in a plane - guess how?!!  Sanitizing is the rule today and sanitizers are ruling today. Umpteen manufacturers have entered the fray and because of COVID-19 fear I feel better hygienic environment prevailing when in close apposition to someone's else flesh-brushing - rare handshake and the like. But why do we buy, use, advocate and amply store sanitizers? What is their actual ro...
