What is a blog?
Let us start with the history of blogging... So the first blog was created in 1994 by Justin Hall who was a student at Swarthmore College. However, it was not a blog it was just a personalized webpage that he created for his personal use. In the early stages, the blog was just a personal weblog in which someone could share some information. But later on, it got many upgradations and today we can define a blog by following lines -
"A blog is basically a website where you share your personal or professional information by creating several webpages and updating it regularly."
A question might pop into your mind that, whether blogs and websites are same or not? So lets clear it by taking a short difference between them. So a blog is a type of website which is updated on a regular basis by adding new information to it whereas a website is a static group of webpages.
Why you should read or write blogs?
Earlier people use to wait for a book or a magazine or a newspaper to read something. But today we are living in a world of technology and the internet. But most of us are misusing it by wasting our precious hours of time in social media, games and many more useless things and making internet just a tool of self-destruction.
But the Internet has a positive side too and we should use that side to improve our knowledge. It has become easier for us to read and write things at any place and anytime. Blogs are one of the best platforms present on the internet from where you can share and learn new things very easily. As I said earlier blogs are updated regularly so it becomes easier for you to learn different things from a single platform.
Whether you can start Blogging? If yes! then how to start?
Yess!... You can start blogging if you are good at expressing your thoughts in any language. If you want to check whether you are a good writer or not, you can start by writing a guest post at any blogging website by sending them an email request.

Does Blogging have a scope in future?
This question is obvious because Youtube videos are becoming an important source of communication nowadays and people think that video communication creates more impact than written communication and it is true. But still, google claims that blogging can not be removed ever from the internet because millions of people like to read information rather than watching the same information as a youtube video because people have an ancient methodology of reading books which is difficult to be changed. Hence, people just changed the way of reading from books to blogs but even in future blogs will have the same scope as it is having now.
I hope you found this information useful. Please share it with others and comment down if you need any help related to writing or in creating a blog.
