Blogging: Help - What is a blog

A blog is an area of a website which contains articles.

An article is a story which contains text &/or images.

A blog contains lots of articles.

A Blog is written by one particular person (or group of people representing one organisation).

The Blogger is the author of all articles in the Blog.

Blogs on the internet are a bit like regular columns written in newspapers. Anyone can have a blog which they use to publish their thoughts, observations or ideas.

Think of blogs as a diary or newspaper column belonging to a Blogger who is the author of the content.

Blogs are added to on a regular basis.

On our site, Bloggers have a connection in some way with the Greek Islands and they want to publish a regular diary/column about their area of interest or expertise.

  • As a new property owner they might want to write about the work in progress during the renovation of their property. They might include an article about how they came to buy the property, followed by another one of what work needed to be done, then another about how they went about getting the work done, how it turned out, what went well, what didn't go so well, their thoughts about what they might do with the benefit of hindsight, and so on.
  • As an environmentalist they might want to use a blog to bring issues to the attention of the general public.
  • As an expert they might have hints and tips to offer, for example a lawyer might include changes to property and tax law that property owners should be aware of, a plumber who doesn't have time to service small fixing jobs might want to run a DIY blog with tips about how to unblock drains, and so on.
  • A blogger might have a special area of interest such as good food and might like to operate a Blog which contains reviews of the restaurants in their island. Or they might be a specialist in walks around the island and would like to regularly share their walking routes. Or a blog might contain cultural coverage or events on the island.
  • Or a Blogger on our site might simply be a resident (home owner or full time renter) who simply enjoys writing regularly about all aspects of life in their Greek Island.

There are lots of other ideas for blog content so if you enjoy writing we offer you a free way of expressing yourself on the Internet.

Generally blogs get a following of people who enjoy the information published and like the style of the blogger.

So if you fancy writing a regular colum or would like to volunteer as a "reporter" for your favourite island, please contact us.
