Explore the blogosphere with Anna!
"Blog" is short for "web log," or an online journal. Some blogs are mostly lists of links to articles and websites, some are like online diaries, and still others focus on a particular topic - anything from history to Harry Potter, from feminism to fishing. There are more than 36 million blogs online, and a new one is created every second!
Popular author Anna Dresner created her own blog (one that provides updates to her technology books) poked around in the blogging world, commonly called the blogosphere, and wrote down what she learned in this book.. She covers everything you need to know to get started: finding the blogs that interest you, reading them, keeping up with them, and of course creating and writing a blog of your own.
Of course Anna didn't research all 36 million blogs, so this is by no means a complete reference guide! Think of it as a great starting point-a place to gain some footing with a trusted friend before leaping into the blogosphere on your own!
