How To Become A Successful Blogger - The Secrets Of Top Bloggers

What Is A Blog?
A blog is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries. Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page.

Who Is A Blogger? 
A blogger publishes articles (called posts) on topics of his or her choice. Physicians, for example, often start blogs that offer insight into medical conditions or treatments, while lawyers might blog about legal issues or cases.
