BASIC BLOGGING KEY TERMS


ABOUT PAGE/BIO PAGE
These terms are often used interchangeably to describe the page on your blog that contains a short biography about you. The about page will also usually give a general overview of the type of blog content a reader can expect to find on your site.

In some cases, if there are multiple bloggers blogging on one page, there will be multiple bios and headshots to showcase each person contributing to the site.

ARTICLE/BLOG POST
These terms are used interchangeably to describe a single post on a blog.



AUTHOR/CONTRIBUTOR
The name of the person attributed with writing a blog post. When there are multiple contributors to a blog, listing the author is often beneficial so that a reader can find all posts by a single author if they choose to. It also gives proper credit for guest posting.

BLOG
A blog is the shortened word for web log or weblog. A blog can consist of a series of online journal entries or articles published by one person or several people. Some blogs only feature posts of text, whereas others may add media such as images, videos, audio or a combination of text and media as well.

Individuals can create blogs for a variety of reasons and in a variety of niches. However, companies and organizations also create them to promote their brands.

Blog content can be both private or public. Private blog content often requires a special link or password to view the material.



BLOGGER
A blogger can be a person who writes for their own blog, contributes to other people’s blogs, or does both. They can use their own name, or a pen name to do their writing.

BLOGGING
To create new material that can be added to a blog – yours or someone else’s.

BLOGOSPHERE
The world of blogging, aka the collective group of bloggers, and the blogs themselves found online. It’s your community of people.



CATEGORY
A blogging category is a subsection of a blog. For example, let’s say you’re blogging about farming. Your categories might include things like supplies needed to grow crops, how to instructions for tilling the land, and general advice on things like soil and fertilization.

blogging categories

Some blogging platforms refer to categories as labels or tags. They each mean the same thing. And, when a reader clicks the label, tag, or category name on your blog, they are often redirected to a page that shows them all related blog posts for that subsection name.

COMMENTS
A comment on a blog post is a response from a reader. Some bloggers choose to not allow comments, but the comment box is where your readers can interact and engage with you about how they feel about your posts.

This is also where they can ask questions for clarification on subjects that may have not been completely clear.

Later, when you’re getting into the intermediate and advanced stages of blogging, you can use the comment sections to learn what your readers want more of.

This will help you decide on future blog post topics and can help you in product and service creation for things you can sell to your readers in the future.

DASHBOARD
When you first log into your blogging platform of choice, this is the area where you can create and delete blog posts, view comments, create and delete pages, update plugins and themes, and more.

DRAFT
A draft on your blog is simply an unpublished piece of content. Once you publish it, it becomes a published blog post.

PLUGIN
A plugin is typically defined as a piece of software used on WordPress that adds additional functions to a blog.
