Blog is short for weblog. Web log. It’s a small space on the internet where you write whatever you want, on any issue. They are many different types of blog, but the most popular is the personal blog. (Examples of other type of blogs are Sports Blog, Music Blogs, Iraq Blogs etc).
A blogger is one who blogs. Euuch, I dislike the word blog. Why couldn’t they have named it something cooler.
I have used these two only for blogging so far.

Blogger is a simple one.
Movable Type is if you have your own webspace, with CGI allowed, pro at HTML and have lots of time at hand to edit all the 10928 templates present. (If you didn’t understand this, just skip it and read the rest of the interview)
Others which offer blogging (don’t know whether they’re free or not, good or not haven’t used them)

okay now you’ve just made a blog. or already have one.
SEVEN guidelines to improve your blog.
1) Be yourself Of course, there is this blogger who has a really cool style, but there’s no point copying because you won’t be able to recreate it. Be yourself, don’t pimp yourself up, down, act cool or try to be funny or anything else stupid.
2)Watch what you’re writing If you want your blog to have more daily visitors rather than 5 of your close buddies and your girlfriend/crush (if you’re liucky enough of have one), just remember this ’’no one cares what you ate for lunch, unless you choked on it and projectile vomitted over the dinner guest, who was Arnold Schwarzenegger’’. Okay I stole this, and edited this a bit. But the point is, no one cares what you did, unless it was something interesting.
3) Be innovative Make up cool new features. Think about cool new things. Have features on your blog that stand out from the rest.
4) Write what you please No holds barred, no view is too extreme. If it’s ’’the Goverment are fcking twats’’ and then it’s ’’the Goverment are fcking twats’’ not ’’the Goverment is lame’’ or the ’’the Goverment is a bunch of idiots’’. Censorship of your blog is a no-no, if you’re afraid that friends and relatives won’t be too impressed with your views on ’’hero’’ Bin Laden, then don’t give out the url to them..
5) Get out of template hell Templates sucks, they really do. Make a cool design yourself (easier said than done, it’ll take some time) or bug someone to make a design for you. Steal someones design if you can’t do any of the upper two.
6) Spend time of your blog And you shall reap the rewards
7) Update your blog No ones gonna sit on the edge their seats waiting for five days for your next post. They’ll lose interest. 2-3 posts a day is ideal, though anything more than one post is 5 days is good. Do a group blog with friends like I do, if you’re life too precious for you ;)
and
7) Remember, all kinds of publicity is good for your blog
