How do I make a blog? Firstly, you need to have your blog hosted. Just the same as you would have your website hosted. Blogs can be hosted by dedicated blog hosting services, or they can be run using blog software, such as WordPress, Movable Type, blogger or LiveJournal, or by regular web hosting services, such as myspace. Blogs in business Blogging by established politicians and political leaders, to express opinions on war and other issues, cemented Blogs' role as a news source and as tools for outreach and opinion forming. This lead to many companies adding blogs full of resourceful information. Some Blogs were an important news source during the December 2004 Tsunami such as Medecins Sans Frontieres, which used SMS text messaging to report from affected areas in Sri Lanka and Southern India. Similarly, during Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 and the aftermath a few blogs which were located in New Orleans, including the Interdictor and Gulfsails were able to maintain power and an Internet connection and disseminate information that was not covered by the main stream media. Bands use Blogs so they can get their name out there and can even upload their own original music so the world can hear it. This is done via what is called as “rss feed”. Rss feeds are a technical term for pod casts or music broadcasts.
