What is a Blog?
Feb 11th
The internet is a great place which contains knowledges. But for some people, especially for those who just started using it, internet maybe quite confusing. For example, people may browse from website to website but they don’t really know what type of website do they looking at. One of the most common type of website in the world is a blog, just as this website.
The real thing is internet is a way for one person to the other person to spread message between them. things that can help them spreading messages is websites such as blog, community forum, or social networking. If you ask what a blog for, it is a media for someone to write and tell the world what they are thinking about, their ideas, their experiences, so that the other people from all over the world that access their blog can read it.
Another reason that people use blogs to share something to the Internet is because it is one of the simplest way to do it. Setting up the blog is very easy, even if you don’t have experience in the internet. All you have to do is know what you are going to write and share. It is better to have someone with many ideas but without computer experiences rather than someone that know the web well but don’t know what to share.
If you ask “who provide the space to put the blogs?”, there are many ways to answer it. Some blog hosted by a free web publishers (like blogger.com and wordpress.com), but some blogs hosted in their own server. (the top level domain one) You can even make your computer become a server to put your blog and share your knowledge with everyone in the world if you want. And you don’t need to have a server-level PC, a desktop pc should be ok.

Dec 28th
Images is very important in making website. with image you can tell everyone more detail about what you are writing. Like some people said that an image contains thousands of words. But if you are going to make a website contains of images, the main problem is where to put all your images, because images takes more space than an essay (we are talking about people who host their website on a hosting company, not for them who had their own server in their room). A good quality photo sometimes can take more than 500 Kilobytes, and a 1000-words essay will not bigger than 100 Kilobytes in size.
There are 2 options where to put your images. The first one is to host your images in your server, and the second is to put them in an image sharing sites.

3. You will not lost your images, if you host it in an image-sharing sites, it might be lost because they host so many images.
Cons
1. You will get your file for backup become bigger, because everytime you backup your site, you must download all the images.
2. You have to rent a bigger space of hosting, or your images can’t be host there.
Put them in an image-sharing website
pros
