WordPress.Com now supports PubSubHubbub (PuSH), a dedicated service that ‘pushes’ all the updates from all the wordpress blogs to the RSS Readers automatically. » Read more: PubSubHubbub (PuSH) Returns !

Basics of Blogging:Blogging Terminology

February 23rd, 2010

A friend of mine asked me to explain some of the terms I used during our discussion regarding our future online project. These were in fact terms related with “blogging”. Being a newbie he was not able to catch them and understand.

The “blogosphere”, like any geek endeavor, is rife with its own nomenclature. I decided I’d try and define a few of the many “blogging- terms”, and I thought I might as well share the same with all of you (since many among my friends are still confused as to what exactly a “blog” is).  » Read more: Basics of Blogging:Blogging Terminology
