What's a blog? It's a web log. A method of communication. A diary or journal. For me it's a way to let family and friends know where we are and what we're doing. It's a way to share photos and experiences, thoughts and information, text and videos.
You can easily find blogs about anything and everything. Some are ramblings, some are knowledge bases. Some are about one topic, others take many different directions and cover a variety of subjects. If you're interested in a hobby, career, or nothing specific = you can find a blog about it. Politics, entertainment, sports, technology, parenting, food, life lessons, travel, or the world. Literally, anything.
Google isn't the only blog provider, but its the one I use. Creating your own blog on Google is literally as easy as 1-2-3. Here is their instruction link if you are interested. https://www.blogger.com/start
For the most part, you don't need to know anything about coding or too much about computer technology. Google Blogger makes it very simple to chose a template and even to customize it if you want. There are many website bulletin boards and forums that provide an area for members of the forum to create a personal blog. Some that I know of are FMCA, iRV2 and the Good Sam RV Club, all related to Rving. They provide the blog space and encourage bloggers to post their comments and share experiences with others.
A blog can be private and personal, with restricted access or you can make your blog public to everyone. Some blogs are very interactive and the people who read them get to know each other and become friends. If you are going to create a blog take a look at the rules and regulations of the site. I've heard that some websites become the owners of your blog content and material you create. I believe it was FaceBook that has that disclaimer. Google Blogger allows a easy method to backup all your blog content onto your own hard drive whenever you want. Google Blogger also interacts easily with Picasa for photo/video storage and posting.
