Confused by Blogs? How To Understand This and Other Interactive Blogs.

I am not writing this entry to insult the regular blog reader or bloggers. As a regular blog reader and/or writer you already understand the power of bloging for information, advertising, and entertainment. You can also post events and your favorite charities with blogs. I had for years avoided blogging until recently. That is because I did not grasp the consept until I finally took the time and learned what blogging was all about. Here I am using a blog to promote blogging and Ambit Energy.

When anyone opens a blog page you may not see your typical Website or Web page. Just like website may have many pages blogs have archives which are pages from past blog posts, entries or articles. This blog is designed to be more like your typical website others are not. Some are just Video blogs others contain pictures and text. Some people have personal or family blogs they attach to their facembook page and so on. There are two main types or sources of blogs. One comes from Blogger (free including the URL) and Wordpress. Wordpress is a free service to set up a blog, but you have to get hosting for your URL or web-address. I generally like to use Go Daddy for hosting website and Wordpress URLs. Just remember when setting up a blog there are many advantages to Blogger because Blogger is connected directly with Google. However, the advantage to Wordpress is your blog site can’t be taken down if the content is considered inappropriate in its usage, which can happen with Blogger (Google rules) in some extreme cases.

To understand what a blog is you have to understand where the word blog came from. The word blog came from the words web log. Most blogs are a series of articles written by an individual or groups in some cases. Blogs can be very diverse and interesting as they grow over time with constant updates or content as it is called. Where web pages and websites are more stable with their content, a good blog constantly evolves. I call this an Interactive blog because it will be interacting with other blogs and websites associated with Energy Deregulation and Ambit Energy. This will provide a more informative and entertaining blog getting the information to you faster than if I set up a regular website. By taking you directly to any copyrighted information and its sources this blog will comply with any copywriting statutes by law and Ambit Energy’s standards. This also gives you a chance to come back and get more information from these other sources if you desire.

When reading blogs you have to understand what keywords are all about. Some keywords are picked up by Search Engines for Search Engine placement or optimization. Other keywords will take you to downloads, other blogs, other pages in the blog, and websites. Sometimes keywords are noticeable because they are underlined by dots. These are Search Engine keywords. In this blog I generally will not make that type of keyword noticeable because I do not want to divert your attention from what I would like you to read or view. The keywords in this blog are the keywords and phrases I use to send you elsewhere for more information. The keywords and phrases in this blog are in a dark gray color and as you pass your pointer over the top of them they turn white and underlined. In other blogs the keywords are in a different color from the regular text. As you pass your pointer across those keywords or phrases they will become the same color as the text and underlined. If you click on the keyword or phrase you will go to another source for more information. To come back to this or any other blog you currently on you simply press the back arrow next to your web browser until you return to that particular or this blog. It is that simple.

Blogging is fun, informational, or can become quite lucrative. Whether you choose to be a consultant or customer with Ambit Energy or not, blogging is a great way to get your information to others. I learned about blogging from gentleman named Bob Gatchel. So take a moment and test your blogging skills out with Bob. But don’t forget to come back and learn more about Energy Deregulation and Ambit Energy and have your blog interact with this one.
