SESSION 3: CREATING AND PUBLISHING WEB PAGES - BLOG

A blog is a discussion style site used by non-technical (or technical users) users for creating personal web
pages. Blogs are similar to an online personal diary and simple to use.

managed using a web browser and this requires active internet connection. You can also use offline blog
software to create content first and later publish the content when an active internet connection is available.
