Nowadays blogging is very popular around the world. Blogs offer a more dynamic experience compared to web pages, where the text of the article is accompanied by comments that visitors (or subscribers) can make. Blogs are generally presented in a “timeline” format, that is, entries are sorted by publication date: in this way, it is instantly known if the information is current or old.

Hosting such as WordPress.com or Blogger.com is key when starting in the world of blogging, as it does not involve any effort to create a new address, design the appearance of the pages (templates and themes are included), and start to publish posts. In simplicity lies the importance of self-managed blogs, where technical knowledge is not necessary, and only self-discovery of how it works and what the chosen service can do.

Blogs, a characteristic content dissemination format, are simple to handle, in addition to benefiting the user by allowing online editing of the text, as well as hosting image and video content on the blog itself. The online edition of the entries is a clear advantage over the traditional web page format since the editing tools are available in the blog's own web access: the blog owner will be able to create or edit the content from any device with access to the Internet, be it a PC, tablet or a Smartphone.

Blogs are important for both who has launched it and who is a follower. The followers or visitors of a blog can benefit from a subjective and impartial opinion about a specific topic and, therefore, solve certain doubts that, otherwise, would remain pending. Blogs are easy to follow, either through the “timeline”, use of the “tags” or by consulting the different “categories” in which the entries are organized: likewise, the followers have the linked RSS feeds at their fingertips to a blog that, through a PC program or mobile application, warns of newly published entries.

Blogs are a very important means of disseminating content on the Internet, providing not only information but have also established themselves as a place for discussion between visitors and subscribers. Blogs are the online, independent media of reference for those who need to contrast opinions, news, and information.
