The word blog is a contraction of the term Web Log. A blog is a flexible web-based program that can be as simple as a personal journal, for your eyes only; or a multi-level community with individual Blogs joined to group Blogs and specialty Blogs.Many Blog programs are free and available on the web. There are also more sophisticated Blog programs that you can purchase to run on the web.
PBA uses a free web-based Blog called "Blogger". Blogger is created and owned by Google and is compatible with many other web-based freeware programs - sometimes referred to as Google Apps or the Google Suite of programs. These programs can be tapped to make your blog entrys more interesting and multi-media. We'll look at some of these programs as we take our individual blogs from creation to a higher level of development.
Let's create your personal blog.

Creating Your Blog
In order for Blogger to know who you are when you sign in to make changes to your blog, you need to create a Google account. If you already have a Gmail account, just use this and sign in on the top right. If you don't already use Gmail or have a Gmail account, choose the orange - CREATE AN ACCOUNT - button and fill in the information requested to create an account.
Don't hesitate to explore around on the Blogger website, there are lots of resources for making your personal Blog more fun and interesting. If you create a blog that lots of people want to visit, you can even find ways to "Monetize" your blog.
