Blog Hosting Service

Using a blog hosting service is the most convenient way for any person to get their personal story, message or idea out for the entire world to see and hear. One weblog search engine tracked one hundred and twelve million weblogs as of December 2007, so the interest in this type of communication is growing by the month. For the unordained in this particular interest field, a blog is a personal website, usually managed by just one person, to share anything that might be on a person's mind, perhaps music, video, art or commentary. Indeed, blogging has long since past just the "typed in words" mile marker and moved on to these other mediums that are still under the blog umbrella. In these days when so many cable news shows are hungry for minutes to make up a twenty four hour broadcast day, video bloggers that must use a blog hosting service just like the bloggers only using words on a page have become a staple for filling otherwise monotonous reruns of the same stories.

No matter what kind of interest a person might have, perhaps fashion, space exploration, antique cars, medicine, sports or other topics, there is already a weblog up and running for a person to read and add opinion or some insight on that very subject. The famous usually have their own weblog to let those mere mortal creatures of the world know of their great wisdom and opinion. And so do some of the most infamous people of this time and generation. Teenagers have also found that telling all who will listen about daily activities and thoughts and fears can actually have some therapeutic affect on them by maintaining their own weblog. Sick patients have started blogs to let friends and strangers gain strength through their pilgrimage. But all of this activity does require using some kind of blog web hosting service.

One thing is for certain: bloggers do not want to keep thoughts or actions or ideas private! This medium is all about publicity of some sort or another and certainly many blogs do attract a lot of attention. A weblog, if the weblog is going to be visited by other more than once, has to have regular entries. A weblog lists these entries in reverse chronological order, making the most recent entry the one at the top of the list. The successfil weblog will usually have an archive of old entries and will have a place where people can respond to what has been presented. A good weblog will also have links to other sites that have proven meaningful to the author or may have some of the same opinions as the author of the blog. Some weblog software can help authors write articles off line and then post them later to their blog, but all must use some sort of blog web hosting service. 

If a weblog has no way of commenting on what has been posted online, quite a bit of the uniqueness of the medium is taken away. Many people who read newspapers each day are drawn to the opinions and letters to the editor section and such is the appeal of comments on the weblog site. Many blogs have ways for other weblog sites to mention its work or ideas with what is known as a ping back, which means one weblog cites another weblog and ensures a large amount of visitation to both sites. Making a weblog interesting has to be the numero uno priority for writing or creating a weblog in the first because the reality is that no person will ever visit again if the weblog has no snap or sizzle to its content. A blog web hosting service will put your blog in the Net but typically will not give any help in fine turning the content. "Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen" (I Timothy 1:17)

Before using any blog hosting service keep these ideas in mind. First, a weblog needs to stick to one theme. Philosophical meanderings are acceptable if a person's name is Socrates, but random thoughts about politics, religion and the cost of living will probably bore someone to tears quite quickly. On the other hand, a weblog on just a single of these topics just might catch on with those who have an interest in that particular area. Have a discernable passion about what is written and allow readers to comment on what has been presented, perhaps video, art or an essay on something of interest. But a person of thin skin need not apply for a blog web hosting service because it is a guarantee that someone will write a comment blasting the ideas on the blog just because that is the nature of the beast. If a person is going to fall apart after being called an unmentionable name for believing or thinking a certain way, better not start with a weblog but with a support group instead.

Reality todays points to almost everyone wanting to make their voice heard so a blog hosting service will always be needed. Perhaps part of that desire is borne out of how much information is available to all which makes so many more people feel like they have something to share out of that information overload Isn't it interesting that God has never shouted at the world? Instead, God speaks to men in a still, small voice only heard when things are silent. Some people want to make nature God and insist that the oceans and the birds and the trees and the wind all carry His voice, but that is not how God gets personal with us. It is when we can almost hear our heart beat and we are ready to truly listen that God will use His divine blog to reveal truth to us. Shut everything else out and make a daily appointment to talk with Him (but mostly just listen) and see what happens.
