Whats a BLOG?

A. What does "blog" mean?
A blog is a type of website with regular entries of comments of the blogger's opinion on books, music, current events, etc.

B. Define "blogging."
Blogging in when a Blogger ( person writing the blog) posts entries on a regular basis, keeping it up to date

C. What is the difference between a blog and a book?
The difference between Blogs and Books is that in a Blog the author comments showing his or her opinion about the topic while in a Book the author is trying to tell you a story and/or telling you facts about a topic.

D. How have blogs changed recently?
Before, when blogs had recently been invented it was just a person putting their daily life's and opinions, but as the internet started to grow websites started to put options where the reader could interact with the author by posting comments. Now there are over 100 million blogs all over the internet.

E. Why might you read a blog?
You might read a blog to get more knowledge about new books, movies, news, etc. Also to see the opinions of other people over a certain topic rather than just yours.

F. Is there reason to doubt the objectivity of a blog? Why? Why not?
Well there could be if your looking for the facts of something because blogs are about the authors opinion not necessarily the facts of the topic. But if you are looking for the opinion of someone over that certain topic there shouldn't be any objectivity over it.

G. What do you think our blog will be about this semester?
I think our blog will be about literature and how we interpret the reading differently than other people reading the same books.
