Blogging lets you post your thoughts and photos on the Net and interact with your blog website's visitors.
Defining Blog
There are different descriptions of that concept. According to most of the articles in the Internet 'blog' is short form for 'weblog', a frequently updated publication of comments and thoughts on the web. Usually it is reflecting the views of the blog's creator. Blogs consist of text and images and are sorted by date. People create blogs to share their live experience with the world. The person who is updating that journal is called blogger. They write about different topics: from the typical daily situations to the progress of some scientific researches. The readers also can leave comments and this make the whole thing more interesting and useful.
Creating your own Blog Website
The easiest way to create a blog is to use an appropriate blogging script. This way you do not need to know anything about the web design and programming in order to share your thoughts with the world. You also can make a free blog at Wordpress.com or Blogger.com or other sites providing free or paid bloging facilities. In such case you blog address is your-subdomain.wordpress.com or your-subdomain.blogger.com. However if you want to have a blog with your own unique domain, you need to have a domain for yourself.
At HumDomains, we offer two options to start your own blog.
Option 1. Open Source Wordpress script for Linux OR BlogEngine.NET for Windows
WordPress is a semantic personal publishing platform (i.e., blog) with a focus on aesthetics, Web standards, and usability. It supports multiple users, categories, comments, bookmarklets, RSS syndication, several APIs, and weblogs.com ping, among other features. We recommend you the use of Wordpress script for your blogging need. With HumDomains Linux hosting plan, you get free installation of Wordpress and let your blogging website online within few minutes. It can be easily customizable and extendable with many useful free WP plugins.
BlogEngine.NET is an open source .NET blogging project that was born out of desire for a better blog platform. A blog platform with less complexity, easy customization, and one that takes advantage of the latest .NET features. With HumDomains Windows hosting plan, you get free installation of BlogEngine.NET and let your blogging website online within few minutes. For example, HumDomains Blog is powered by BlogEngine.NET with the Windows hosting plan.
