STEP ONE: INTRODUCTION TO BLOGGING

So by now you know what a blog is and know that people from all walks of life have their own blogs. We'll turn now to the various components of an average blog.

COMPONENTS

1. Advertising - Many blogs have advertising banners on them. Most often the money generated by advertising goes to the company providing the blog software, not the individual blogger.
2. Title - The blog's title.
3. Date - The date of the most recent post. You will notice that previous posts have been pushed down on the page to fit below the most recent one.
4. Post Title - The title of the most recent post.
5. Text - The actual text of the most recent post.
6. Posting Information - Information telling who wrote that particular post and when it was posted to the blog.
7. Comments - An area for readers of the blog to add their comments. This is an option some bloggers use and others avoid.
8. Previous Posts - A list of the most recent posts.
9. Archives - A link to view the archive section which contains older posts.

Though there may be variety from one to another depending on the preferences of the individual blogger, most blogs have all or most of those components.
