Blog Examples

The Blogging world has also been called the "Blogosphere." This word is very appropriate because it's so huge. It can be difficult to get started because of how massive it is.

I find that its best to figure out what tools you will need to learn about something new. The tools I have been using so far in my quest to learn about blogs are as follows:

1. A Search Engine (using effective search terms or phrases)

Ex: I went onto Google and put in "blogs." A Wikipedia article came up describing different facts about blogs. This is about the only good thing I found with this search term. When I put in blogs about cars, I found a Forbes article about the best car blogs and it gave me some excellent blogs.

You can find the Wikipedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog

2. Blog Examples

Usually the best way to learn how to do something is to try to find good examples. Here are some of the great examples I found so far, for many different subjects.

Cars:

So that is what I've found for now. You can easily find your own if you take time to look for your interests in a search engine of your choice. Just remember to use effective search words and it will make it much easier.
