Blogs Definition - About My Blog

 

What Is a Blog?

The word blog is actually constructed from the words web and log. Web: the blog is on the Internet (the web) and may be shortened from the word website. Log: as you are logging your stories or journal.

 
 
Web + Log = Blog



A blog is like a website, but has content that frequently changes. The author of the blog will usually post articles that they’ve written on a variety of subjects. Sometimes blogs have more than one author, and may be written by a company.

They may choose to write stories, post photographs, write articles on topics that they're interested in. In fact, a blog can be about almost anything.

What Is My Blog about?


This is my personal blog.

I use my blog to practice my writing, to give information about my books, and to post freebies such as the free colouring page.

What is a blog post?


This is an article that the author of the blog has written. It is a bit like The Wall on Facebook.

As a writer, it is nice to know that people are reading my work. It is also good to know that I have a way to let people know about my books. I want to keep my blog interesting and exciting, with lots of new material and freebies.


How Often Will I Receive Emails?


I usually update my blog every 1 to 2 weeks, although it can be less often. I actually suffer from RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury), which means I get a lot of pain in my wrist if I use the computer. I use voice software to help me do my work, but it takes me longer to write articles than most people.

Alfonso the Tortoise Book Sample

Prince Alfonso the tortoise woke up one sunny morning in his small hut in the Land of Garden. Still feeling sleepy, he slowly plodded out of his hut and then yawned.   He felt the sun warm up his face and brown shell. He smiled and said to the world, 'hello world.'   'Hello, Mr Royal Prince,' said a cheeky little worm, who had just popped his head up out of the grass. 'Ooh, hello. I didn't see you there. What's your name?' 'I’m Willie and I’m so excited to meet you. I’ve been hearing all sorts of stories about you. Your crown is amazing!' 'Thanks,' replied Alfonso, chuckling to himself. It seemed lots of folk had heard about him.  'Are you enjoying life here in the Land of Garden? Can you tell me about how you got here? Do you think you'll stay here?' asked Willie eagerly, keen to know everything about Alfonso. 'I do love living here! A beautiful garden, filled with friendly c...

I will definitely be reading the 2 nd and 3 rd books in the series as I ha...

Being An Author: Questions From A Young Reader

Image
Recently, one of my young readers asked me several questions about being an author. I thought that you may find the questions and answers interesting. How do you get your books published?  There are a number of ways that you can get your books published. The main ways are by sending your book to a publisher or by publishing yourself. There may be other options, although I don't know about them. A Self Published Paperback and E-Book With the first option you send your books to publishers (one at a time) and see if they are interested in your book. They will then do a lot of the hard work for you, although you will probably be expected to edit your book. This means making improvements so that the book is the best it can possibly be. Alternatively, you can decide to publish yourself (this is called self publishing).I decided to publish the books myself. Do you have to do it on computer? It is always a good idea to write up your book onto a computer. That way you...
