Understanding Web
Blogs?
Blogs are web logs that are updated regularly, usually
on a daily basis. They contain information related to a specific
topic. In some cases blogs are used as daily diaries about
people's personal lives, political views, or even as social
commentaries. The truth of the matter is that blogs can be
shaped into whatever you, the author, want them to be.
Understanding RSS Feeds
?
RSS feeds are composed in XML, which is a very simple markup
language. Similar to HTML, XML uses tags to identify fields.
Webmasters can easily parse the RSS feed and dynamically create
web pages that contain headlines and summaries. The feeds
will continuously update, supplying a steady stream of automatically
generated fresh content.
Making an RSS Feed?
Everyday more and more websites, news services and blogs are
adding RSS content. RSS is a method of syndicating content.The
concept of aggregating content in one central location or
repository is very appealing. Consumers have become tired
of push technology, RSS allows users the flexibility to regain
control of their content. RSS feed creators provide content
without forcing it on consumers. In fact with RSS consumers
are able to choose the content they wish to view.
What is Blogging?
Blogs have been around for many years but have recently become
somewhat a new ‘craze’. A Blog is short for Web Log is basically
an online journal. They can be set up at little to no cost
at all, and can be used for a wide variety of things. Some
bloggers just blog for the fun of it, while others tend to
use their blogs for business reasons.
Blogging for Business
The great thing about weblogs, and the growing set of software
that is being created to publish them, is that they are a
tremendous business tool. Weblogs allow you to create content
and contact…and that is what your clients crave more than
anything.

Why Authors Should Blog
While watching the presidential conventions I was struck by
the fact that blogs had totally revolutionized the publishing
industry. Sitting right alongside the major news agencies
were the bloggers frantically typing on their laptops. Even
seasoned veterans who had covered past conventions mentioned
the power of this new media.
