A blog can basically be understood as being an online diary. Notes and articles relating to hobbies and expertise in particular areas are just as common as travel reports, opinions on current events or reviews of slam poetry. Individual posts can be added at any time without the author having to deal with any complex web programming issues.The main elements of a blog - the posts - are listed out in chronologically descending order. Audio files, video clips or simply just text can be inserted into these posts as well.
A post always consists of some basic elements, by which it can be identified:
1. Header:
The header consists of the title and date of the post.
2. Footer:
In the footer, the username of the author and the time the post was made can be found. Furthermore, links and the number of comments and trackback links left as well as keywords are also shown.
On the right-hand side of the blog you'll find some useful modules which make reading your blog easier for your blog's visitors.
3. Using the calendar, you can jump to posts from specific days or months.
4. The "Search" function searches the entire blog for specific terms.
5. Posts are sorted into the "Archive" for easier viewing and finding.
6. In general, categories can be created into which you can sort your posts. RSS feeds can be generated from these categories and subscribed to.
7.Keywords are displayed larger or smaller according to their frequency.
8. You can also create your own link list to other blogs and websites.
There are only a few options listed here. MAGIX Blog Service offers a wide spectrum of advanced features which can be turned on and off at will.
