Blogging began not with the late 20th century and with the help of the modern technology called fast internet and computers, but it began as early as the Shakespearean times when one of the impressed spectators wrote the summaries of the scenes of different plays of Shakespeare in his diary. This is exactly what blogging means. You would have to put chunks of information about any event, dabble in the philosophies hidden within theories, and state your own opinions for others to read. And this is exactly what the blogging phenomena entail.

The ones who blog avidly use the term "last-in-first" to describe this phenomenon. This means to establish that whatever latest updates you put up the most recently, they will be displayed at the top part of the screen. Nowadays, blogging has become a worldwide phenomenon, and perhaps all for good reasons. It increases exposure and creates a sort of virtual identify for yourself in the net.

• When you start blogging, you will find that there are various layouts that you can make use of. You can go for the motorbike theme where you have bikes and fire creating a very masculine combo, or you can lasso go for the garden with flowers and butterflies and everything green and sunny as your main theme. But if you have programming skills, you can create your own special and unique template too.

• Blogging is highly interesting because it opens up a world where you can be yourself. Where you can post anything you like (within limits of course) and state anything you like on anything under the sun. You can criticize the government, bitch about your friends or talk garrulously about the experiences you have been through recently, and no one will stop you.

• Blogging online had started when surfers decided to have a means of commenting on various websites about their serviced and products. It was at first difficult to do this, since they had to open up a separate website for this sole purpose. Now with many blogging sites, this feat has become very easy.

• This is why blogging has made the word a smaller place to live in. You can always post comments on other people's blogs, and have them write back to you. Your friends and other visitors may also leave comments on your own blog, and say what they think of you.

• Blogging is an interesting phenomenon that has taken the world by storm. Here, you do not have to only post your articles and everything else in words. You can even put up pictures and videos too. These could be created by you, or sued form any other site, but they can be posted just the same.

• Blogging is highly inspiring, since it really gets all your creative juices flowing, plus, it is an advantage for all those people who do not find your voice easily in the midst of a crowd during debates. If you find yourself uncomfortable while stating your opinions in front of others, because of the fear that they might fire back and shoo you away, blogging is the perfect solution. This will help you to state your thoughts in a clear and precise manner as you take the time to write, and at no time do you have to face anyone physically.

• You can also keep yourself anonymous by not using your name in your blog at all, or by using pseudonym. This way, you can be what you exactly are without running fears of people discovering you!

So go ahead and blog your heart out. This is a truly marvelous experience, and once you master it, there is no looking back!
