Week 8 blog ( elements)

Before this class I had no idea what a blog was, what it could do, or what it should do. Blogs were defined as text-based websites that kept records of days, similar to a captain's log on a sailing ship. This started to change as the group of people who kept blogs became more diverse. The more bloggers began to explore the limits of the medium and of the technology that made it possible, the more the boundaries of what could be called a "blog" expanded. Now anything and everything from houses, cars, candy, import, hobbies...ect. can be considered a blog. Its a great way to get your word across , for entertainment, and get answers to your questions and questions of others. Any other form of application does not allow this type of conversation. The blog also can act as a catalyst to a company,a corporate blog. As more companies hire writers to keep blogs with the sole purpose of creating positive buzz about their brand to bloggers across the globe. It has many elements.
