The word "Blog" is short for "Web-log", or, in other words, your own personal online journal. Now, you may have heard of Blogs before, or this may be the first time you've ever seen this word. It doesn't really matter all that much, because one of the greatest things about Blogs is that they're so easy to use that ANYONE can have one!
But what would you do with a Blog? Good question. The greatest thing about owning and maintaining your own Blog can be summed up in one word: Freedom. Once you've created a Blog, you can do with it what you want. Do you want to keep it private and for your eyes only? Go ahead! Do you want to forward your Blog to friends and family so they can keep up with your life? It's your choice. It's up to you whether you update once a month, once a week, once a day, or multiple times a day. You can write IBS tips of the week, or recount stories of your early days with IBS. It may be hard to grasp, but this is your Blog and, therefore, what it's used for is up to you! Once you create a Blog, it becomes your own personal bit of webspace that you can customize to your liking.
Now, onto that other question (bet you thought we forgot, didn't you?) A Blogging Community is a group of Bloggers (AKA: Blog Writers) who all write about a similar topic or subject of interest. Here at IBS Blogs, all of the Bloggers are talking about IBS; how it affects their lives; special tips and tricks they have for dealing with it; touching, funny, and interesting stories about friends and family and all things IBS-related. That's right, there are hundreds of other people like you, writing daily, weekly, monthly about their lives and IBS. We are a support group, a population of friends, a space for debate and agreement, thought, information, and entertainment.
Again, just because you may have never heard of a Blog means nothing. Blogs are a piece of the next era of Internet technology. And, the best part? It's so easy! Trust us, once you start, you'll be able to tell everyone that you are an official Blogger. So why not step with us into a new era? Sign up, and get started! If things get confusing, we have a Help section to help you out. Now let's get on with it! We're all waiting for you, and can't wait for you to join us.
