1. What Blog is

There are some social softwares that allow people to build a community in the internet range. Some of them are blogs, wikis, and podcasts. The basic features that distinguish those three social softwares are: a blog is more like a diary, b wiki is like a website which consists of a number of collaborative web pages, and c podcast is more related to the audio andor video file broadcasted and accessed via internet. Dudeney and Hockly 2007: 86 state “a blog, short term of weblog, is essentially a web page with regular diary or journal entries”. Supporting to Dudeney and Hockly, Johnson 2004 defines blogs as “electronic journals that allow the users to keep records of their writing on a website”. In addition, Campbell 2003 states ”an individual can continuously update the blog with his or her own words, ideas, and thoughts through software that enables one to easily do so”. In other words, blog is an online journal that enables the user to write his or her own words, ideas, and thoughts trough softwares and update it as a web page. Blog has some features that are used to maintain it as the user want: a. Access Control The users of blogs can maintain a private online space for collecting and sharing any stuff they want or a group blog with multiple authors as an excellent communication tool for small teams, families and other groups. They can also set the comment moderations to allow any intended readers to give comments of the posts blog entries. b.

Blog templates, font colour and size, and other page elements are easy to edit without having to learn the HTML code. c. Supporting Features On the writing page of blogs, it is completed with formatting toolbar and one-click buttons for uploading or adding photos, videos, and links to the blog post. commit to user 19 Nisa A.
