What is a Blog?
• I call a blog an online journal that is
frequently updated. If you understand the
concept of keeping a diary, you will
understand blogging. Everyday, you make
an entry into your diary, just like blogs are
supposed to be updated often so they
don’t carry stale or old content. Popular
blogs I know are updated at most every 3
days, while some are updated daily.
How Does WordPress Come Into The Picture?
• WordPress is a highly popular, FREE software
for creating and managing blogs, or more specifically niche blogs.
• With Wordpress, you can easily:
Create a content rich niche site, without the
hassle of uploading. All you need to do is copy,
paste and publish your content immediately or
schedule it for auto publishing at a later date.
