Types of blogs

1, basic blog: the simplest form of blog. A single author provides relevant resources on a specific topic and makes short comments. These topics can involve almost all fields of human beings.

2. Group Blog: A simple variant of the basic blog. Some team members complete blog logs together, and sometimes the author can not only edit his own content, but also edit other people's entries. This form of blog enables group members to discuss some common topics and even complete the same project through consultation.

3. Blogs between relatives and friends: The members of such blogs are mainly composed of relatives or friends, who are members of a life circle, a family or a group of project teams.

4. Collaborative blog: Similar to group blog, its main purpose is to make participants agree on some methods or problems through discussion. Usually, a collaborative blog is defined as a blog log that allows anyone to participate, comment and discuss issues.

5. Public * * * community blog: Public * * * publishing was popular for a while a few years ago, but it disappeared because there was no lasting and effective business model.

The main function of blog

Express an idea

Blogs allow individuals to express their views online. This is a place to collect and enjoy anything you are interested in-it can be political comments, personal diaries or links to websites you want to remember.

Many people use blogs just to organize their own ideas, while some people gain influence among thousands of visitors around the world. Professional and amateur journalists use blogs to publish special news, while people who have the habit of keeping diaries will declare their inner thoughts in blogs.

No matter what opinions you want to express, blogs can help you express them.

Get feedback

Blogging experience is not only to express your thoughts on the Internet, but also to get feedback from like-minded people and communicate with them. Blogs allow website readers from all over the world to provide feedback on your favorite blog content. You can choose whether to allow comments through posts (and you can delete any comments you don't like). For small groups, families or other groups, group blog is an excellent communication tool, which allows your group to have its own space on the Internet to enjoy news, links and ideas.

Looking for netizens

Blog information can help you find people with similar interests and blogs you are interested in, and others can find you through your information. Your blog, your recent posts and other information will be listed in the blog materials. Click on the content or location you are interested in and enter other people's personal data, from which you may find the blog you are interested in.

The difference between blog and BBS

BBS is a place where many people get together to discuss (much like English corner), while Blog (group type) is a place where a group of people with goals or prospects get together to study and discuss problems (much like a seminar), and a personal Blog is like a personal notebook or diary.

BBS is an open and free space, facing a loose group and serving the public. BBS was created to solve people's lack of opportunities for free speech.

Blog is a private platform, aimed at individuals with the same goals and smaller groups, serving individuals. With the popularity of the Internet, people's right to freedom of speech has been greatly improved. At this time, the need to show one's talent and personality is increasingly prominent, and blogs have emerged.

BBS organizes posts (articles) in chronological order and classifies them. However, classified users cannot be changed, and only administrators have this right.

Blog organizes articles (posts) by calendar, but Blog can classify articles (posts) by itself.

BBS allows users to reply, but they must register (by setting or not registering). When you have posted posts (articles) on several BBS that you are interested in, it is difficult for you to find the posts (articles) that you have posted. Blogs can reply without registering, which is a bit like BBS. What you write in your blog will always be in your blog, and you can dispose of it at will.

BBS posts (articles) in disorder. Searching for information when there are many posts (articles) may give you a large class of useless information or duplicate information. Blogs use RDF (Resource Description Framework) to organize information, and the document linked by the "XML" symbol of each blog is rss.xml or index.xml, which is the essential difference between BBS and blogs in technology.
