Blog #1

A blog is a website where people create posts about various topics. There are many different varieties of blogs, some are interactive with several different options such as commenting and messaging, some have other media such as videos and images; however, many are simply text based.

There are several different types of blogs and different uses for them as well. Many are personal blogs that are run individually and act similarly to a journal, except made public. Personal blogs are often about a certain topic and consist mainly of posts and media about that one specialty. There are also corporate blogs, which are run by companies, so that they can share information between employees, but they can also be used as marketing and advertising tools that potential customers can visit. On top of the traditional blogs, there are also vlogs, which are video logs, where a person posts a video on a constant basis and speaks what they would have posted instead of writing it.

Personally, I don’t enjoy reading blogs very much; however, there are some that I wouldn’t mind reading. One thing I really do enjoy is playing video games, so any blogs about video games containing reviews or even casual opinions are sometimes interesting to read. I also like to read movie reviews, and before and after I go to a movie or watch one, I usually check the reviews to see other people’s opinions about it.
