Weblogs: A History & Perspective - Bloods


The idea of blogging originated in the 1990’s and has grown since. There are hundreds of blogging platforms in existence, and most are free. The options are endless to customize and share blogs, or keep them private like a diary. In the article “Weblogs: a history and perspective” Rebecca Blood examines the idea of self-actualization through blogging. She has a point considering your blog is a representation of yourself just as much as it showcases your writing. This same idea is important in advertising. The point of an ad is to create a certain appealing image that will encourage others to want a product or service. Blogs can be utilized to do just that, and are considered a PR tool, necessary for advertising.
