This is a great analogy for beginners, comparing a blogⁱ to a book.

What is a blog, you ask? A blog can loosely be compared to a book. A book would have a title, a cover or jacket, and one or more chapters, each with a title. The blog, as with a book, has a title. The book jacket or cover could be loosely compared to a blog's style template. The style template is the decorative element that surrounds the blog text and contents. The style template, as with the book cover, is the decorative element that visually ties everything together.

Books are usually divided into chapters, each with a title. Blog posts are similar to the chapters in a book. The blog posts are individually titled, and a series of blog posts would comprise the entire blog.

Blogs (or web logs), are traditionally a series of posts that have a theme, or are a series of thoughts (such as a diary or journal). Those who blog are referred to as bloggers.

Many blog websites have been developed as a result of the popularity of blogging. Even Fortune 500 companies and news organizations are now entering the blogosphere as a result of the intense interest in this writing form.

The future of blogging seems to be secure as thousands of people enter the blogosphere every day.
