Are You Off Travelling? Share Your Experiences With Your Very Own Travel Blog

By Helen Cox

Blogs, believe it or not have been around on the Internet for nearly as long as websites themselves but when the Internet first appeared no one was really interested in blogs; it wasn't until the late nineties that blogs, or blogging as it has become known, really started to take off and since 2000 blogs have really gained popularity to become one of the fastest growing trends on the Internet.

Personal Internet journals known as blogs are taking the Internet by storm. Anybody in our society can have a blog, even your pets could have a blog, yes it's true I've seen them! When they first appeared all those years ago a blog was merely a list of recommended links with some commentary but since then they have evolved into something completely different and now everyone, including writers, musicians and celebrities as well as your average Joe want their own little piece of cyberspace to call their own. Thanks to easy-to-use programs and websites, the most technically challenged person can get a blog online!

The term blog is taken from a combination of two words, which are web and log. Your blog can be viewed either by the general public, or if you want to make it a bit more select, just by your friends and family. On these blogs you can post text, images and videos; they give you the opportunity to publish your thoughts and reflections on issues that are important to you.

There are many websites out there that provide you with the opportunity to create your own blog. Some of the main websites for the creation of a blog are wordpress and blogger; these are the two main websites where you can create a blog and talk about whatever you want; however if you want a blog that focuses on a specific area then you may be better off seeking a website primarily for that subject area.

If there is a specific area that interests you then there is a high chance that someone has created a blog about it and you are able to use these blogs to talk about and share your experience of a particular subject area. One of these specific subject areas blogs are travel blogs.

Travel blogs give users the opportunity to share experiences of places they have visited; it gives users the opportunity to talk about different cultures and where they plan to visit next when they are on their travels. A travel blog is a place where people with the same interests can get together to keep a diary of a certain trip, which includes their daily activities. For other users a travel blog may take on a deeper meaning, in which it would be used to promote certain places or trips as well as to provide other travellers with research information and tutorials about what to do on certain travel trips or as a way of providing information regarding the best places to stay while travelling.
