And here it is – our first proper BLOG. We hope to share with you a whole range of musings, observations, Dairy Barns news and the odd funny story thrown in for good measure. But before we get too carried away, we thought we should do some desk research into what a BLOG actually is….
According to WIKIPEDIA – a blog is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web and consisting of discrete entries (“posts”) typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent post appears first). Until 2009 blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject. More recently “multi-author blogs” (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and professionally edited. MABs from newspapers, other media outlets, universities, think tanks, interest groups and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic. The rise of Twitter and other “microblogging” systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into societal newstreams. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Well there you have it – BLOGs according to WIKI.
It’s probably best not to read too much into the why’s and wherefores and just get on with it.
More soon.
