Blogging is a way of communicating electronically. A blog is a forum where people make entries regarding their day, a prior or upcoming event, or whatever they want to talk about. The entries are organized and displayed in reverse chronological order and usually anyone can reply or give their two-cents. Justin Hall and Jerry Pournelle are two of the earliest bloggers. Each started at some time in 1994. They created it so people have even more means of communication.

Blogs are for any given person to use and just about everyone does at one point in time. They are very simple to use; all you do is type your entry, and enter it, then “poof” it’s there. The entries are showed from latest to first so the bloggers can keep a sort of log or keep a conversation going.

There are a lot of positives when it comes to blogging. For example, schools are starting to use blogs more and more in their curriculums. Also people can communicate with each other when maybe they might not have been able to before because of issues like they don't have a phone or myspace or something along those lines. Blogging also is good because it gives everyone a chance to give their input. There are some negatives as well. People can get into arguments and blog back and forth stupid stuff that no one else cares about or wants to see and it just takes up space.

Blogs are being used more and more with regards to school. Teachers keep up with blogs so their students can go onto the website and get their homework if they miss a day or get directions to a project they have to do.
