INTRODUCTION
A blog is a type of website that is updated regularly with new content. Most of the blog

consists short articles, unofficially called the blog posts. These positions are typically contain
some combination of text, image, video, and other media. Essentially, the blog is simply a

space on the web that can be create to capture and express your opinions, experiences, and
interests. If spending a lot of time surfing the web, might have read the blog post before,
despite not be aware it at the time. Some of the most read blog is a little like the online
magazine because they are written by a team of paid employees to update the blog with new
posts several times a day. However, the majority of blogs are written by one person.
Consequently, the average is quite personal blog, reflecting the passion and personality of the
person who wrote it. These kind blog that we will focus on in this tutorial. Those who write
blogs are called bloggers. What are heard on the news, all the bloggers which think a certain
kind young people, in terms of politics prone, and technologically savvy. Alternatively may
have heard of bloggers who has written about amazing experiences or projects aspiring, then
switch their blogs into bestselling books. While some bloggers do fit this explanation, the
majority of bloggers do not. In fact, there is no "average" blogger. Blogs written by people of
all ages and backgrounds and from all walks of life. As seen in the info graphic on the last
page, most bloggers consider blogging hobby. It could be a quite time consuming hobby, since
many bloggers spend several hours each week writing blog posts, reply to comments, and
more.
State of the Blogosphere report for 2011, the people behind Technorati.com conducted a
survey of more than 4,000 bloggers on the purpose of a blog. They said:
To share experience and specialties
To speak approximately one issue concerned
To become more engaged with hobbies and passions
To be part of the communities
To promote a career or starting a career in writing
To maintain family and friends updated on life

Does not matter what their major reason for blogging is, most bloggers have at least an
expression. They Are Passionate sufficient about the topic to write about it again and again,
usually for free. If there's a subject you concerned deeply about, you might enjoy blog about it.
Once you have your own blog, you have unrestricted separate and freedom to express opinions
and discuss things you love with other people. Another reason some people are blog is to to
earn money. Those earn money from their blogs by hosting advertising, selling products, or
publish their blog entries Is in the form a book or an article for publication. Media often reports
on bloggers who has done this successfully, turning their blogs into the career and a book and
movie offers. Though it is good to try to get currency from a blog, be realize that success
stories which very rare. Your may see ads for services that promise to help you create your blog
profitable with little effort. However, making money this way is not as easy as it may seem.
Many bloggers write for years without ever getting a penny from their blog. Keep this in mind
when starting a blog.

The main page of your blog are a crucial part in the success of the blog. Home page also
known as a landing page is essentially the welcome page for the blog. It should include all the
information and the reader be established in and felt compelled to reside. A misleading or
incomplete home page may an adverse impact and lead a reader of the blog. Take a moment to
create a home page which invites easy to navigate and understand by following these steps.
Consider the picture that you want your blog to reflect. Before you may start a blog, it is
important to identify the image and the message you want to convey to the reader. Just like a

business defines photos and messages to a brand new or it rolls out products, you must do the
same for your blog. Make blog design which portray the image of your blog. When you
defined your pictures to your blog to portray, you need to make blog design who are
consistently communicate the image. From your font choices to choose your colour, make sure
each element the overall design of your blog is consistent with the image of your blog. For
instance, the image of the financial blog will confuse the mind of the reader if the design blog
includes cute clipart, fonts balloons and glitter impact. Otherwise, the image would confuse if
the baby blog design that includes lot of black in which the reader would expect to see a pastel.
Add elements to enhance your user experience. Main page Blog should include elements that
be most useful to the reader. Once you choose the elements to include in the courtyard, putting
stuff readers want to view. You can always change the home page later, but here is a list of
some of the most important elements that every blog's home page should include:

Posts
Links to websites about
Link to the contact page or contact information
category
Sidebar
subscription option
Social media icons

As your blog grows, you may add elements such as archives, list of recent and popular, ads,
and more.

Picture 1.1 shown my first entry in my blog about Legoland Malaysia is Malaysias first
international theme park that has opened in Nusajaya, Johor, Malaysia on September 15, 2012
with over 40 interactive rides, shows and attractions. It is the first Legoland theme park
in Asia and sixth in the world upon its establishment. Legoland Malaysia layout will start out

with the parks main entrance area with the traditionally main entrance Legoland sight. There
will be a Big shop Legoland largest store selling Lego products, toys, sets, DVDs, books and

Picture 2.1
Picture 2.1 shown the my second entries on my blog about Tioman Island. Tioman
Island situated South eastern side of the Peninsular Malaysia there is a group of 64 islands, of
which Tioman Island is the biggest one (+/- 350 km2). Other known islands in this region are:
Seri Bulat, Sembilang, Tulai, Sibu, Chebeh, Labas and Renggis. Tioman Island lies about 56
kilometres of the coast in the federal state of Pahang. Tioman known as a diving and
snorkelling paradise, like Redang and Islands in the north of Peninsular Malaysia. There are
many diving schools; we heard great things (and in some cases have a great experience) about

Dive Asia (5 Star IDC), B & J Dive Centre, Diving Tioman and Fisherman Divers. Check out
the great video below to get an impression of the dive sites around Tioman Island. Non-divers
can enjoy a bit of snorkelling in one of the snorkelling sites around the island. Most resorts
have a house reef; where you can snorkel in front of your cabana. Make sure you check this out
if you make reservations in advance. Many resorts also offer snorkelling trips to remote areas
around Tioman island or uninhabited islands around Tioman example Tulai Island and Island
Renggis). Snorkelling equipment can be rented at most dive shops and also at many resorts. It
is not so common anymore to get fin as too many tourists make the decision to stand on
precious stones. In addition, some require you to wear a life jacket that forces you to stay on
the water all the time (again to conserve coral reefs). Some great places to snorkel around
Tioman are: Swamp, Yachting and Ayer Batang. The best time to visit Tioman is between
March and October. The northeast monsoon change this tropical jewel desolated place between
late October and early March; many resorts are closed during this period. As the monsoon this
underwater world is less beautiful; eyesight is not good and there is a current so diving and
snorkelling is not possible. Avoid the island during the school holidays and public holidays;
Singaporeans, especially school and public holidays as the island is very popular among
Singaporeans. If you visit Tioman between April and October you'll still have a chance of rain;
you, of course, visiting the country has a tropical climate. Non-divers can enjoy a bit of
snorkelling in one of the snorkelling sites around the island. Most resorts have a house reef;
where you can snorkel in front of your cabana. Make sure you check this out if you make
reservations in advance.

Picture 3.1
Picture 3.1 shown my third entries on my blog about Genting Highlands. It is an
integrated resort development consisting of a hotel, casino and theme park in Gujarat, situated
at the top of the hill at 1,800 meters. Located near the border of Maharashtra in about an hour's
drive from Kuala Lumpur (about 35 km), Genting Resort presents a popular weekend getaway
from the heat of the city, connected by Karak Highway and major trunk roads, along with the
cable car service from the satellite city Gohtong Jaya. On a clear day, the peak overlooking a
lush valley in the rain forest stretching towards KL, views to the visitors as they enjoy the
weather cooling and quiet mountain setting. Highlands Very famous because people are
gambling. When You visit the casino yourself You will see elections Chinese gamblers WITH
Facial Very Seriously. We do not see anyone but smile Conventions Immediate after winning
Ache Something. Genting Highlands has a climate cooling between 20 C to 25 C during
the day and 15 C to 20 C at night. Foggy weather is an element common and frequent
thunder storms towards the end of the year. However, you may visit the Genting Highlands at
any time, because the streets are made of building up a strong fight against the landslide. If you
prefer dry holiday, the best time to come here will be between March and September when
rainfall is generally the least. Be sure to wear some thick clothes at night if you are susceptible
to cold. The mist around the peak can obscure the panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur and the
landscape below, so the best time to view is usually early morning or late afternoon. First
World Plaza is a shopping centre shopping mall in Genting Resort, housing an indoor theme
park and the First World Hotel, located at the top. Glamourous and audacious, First World
Plaza is as bright as colourful masks with cartoon statues, neon lights and many international
landmark replica hangs like the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower and the Petronas Twin
Towers were randomly scattered throughout the centre shopping. A fundamental attraction

Genting Resort, Indoor Theme Park provides a lightweight version of the rides outside, such as
carousels, roller coasters and Ferris wheels move slowly with an emphasis on family and
children. Valley View Gardenia is the parks and gardens at the foot of Theme Park Hotel,
Genting Highlands overlooking the valley all the way to Kuala Lumpur on a sunny day. Open
daily from early morning to late at night, the park is a popular gathering ground for visitors
with families to appreciate the view of the lush and climate cooling. Among the features of the
garden include a fountain, gazebo and walkway with public benches located along the thick
bush flowers and a mass of ornamental plants. One possible side provides space for parking,
but parking can only be achieved by making a loop around Genting Resort because of one-way
streets at peak.

Picture 4.0 shown my forth entry about Genting Theme Park. Outdoor theme park of
Genting Highlands is the largest family attractions, offering recreational activities and
amusement rides in a calm environment higher up the mountain slopes. Visitors can explore
over 50 different games, including a roller coaster, Ferris wheel, swings, carousels, trains, cars
and ships falling through air, water barrels down or crawling slowly along steel tracks. Boating,
archery and go-karting more choices of activities, while the mini-concerts and performances by
clowns and mascots provide public entertainment on a holiday weekend. On most days, simple
Genting Theme Park is the most beautiful place in the top, on the side. At the lake, visitors can
ride on a paddle boat, soaking in the views of the colourful environment. Some playpens

children to occupy themselves. Another activity for children is the Rainforest Splash Pool, a
hot spring in park buildings facing the Rejang River Ride flume and wave pool. Valley View

In addition , Picture 4.2 and 4.3 show about Genting Skyway, opened in 1997, is one
of the longest and fastest gondola lift in Southeast Asia. Across 3.38km from the base station in
the city Gohtong Jaya all the way up to the top - it is a fun ride hundreds of feet up the steep
mountain slopes. Stations built earlier (Awana Skyway) provide additional transport cable car
on weekends and public holidays, providing an additional stop at Chin Swee Temple. Cable car
service also works when the Genting Skyway is closed for maintenance dl. Walking on six
meters per second, the cable car to complete the journey in 11 minutes. Each cabin carrying
eight passengers, the car enough to support 2,000 people per hour. Chin Swee Cave Temple is a

popular tourist attraction and religious site located a few miles before the peak of Genting
Highlands on the sharp, rocky slopes. Originally a temple cave, the development has resulted in
a vast complex of widespread physical space far beyond the altar, rooted in traditional Chinese
architecture specified by the prayer hall decorations, colourful dolls, plush curves and iconic
pagoda tower. The temple was built by the founder of Genting (Lim Goh Tong) to honour the
Buddha figure Chin Swee, a year after he built the first resort and casino in 1975. Site was
chosen because it reminded him of the landscape of his native village in Fujian, China.
Tediously built over 18 years with the foundation dug out of solid bedrock, modern machinery
eschewed because of the steep terrain that causes unusually long development period. In 1994,
the Chin Swee Temple is finally open to the public, but additional layer added over the next
year to create a vast complex visitors see today. Growing lots of roots, the temple was no
longer pay the ultimate tribute to Chin Swee, but pastiche Buddhism, Taoism, Shamanism,
Confucianism and various 'isms' out of the belief among the Chinese. Various deities associated
with the beliefs of the compound in the form of waste stone statues, statues, temples, altars and
paintings - some light hearted fantastical imagination, while others are terrible.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF BLOG

many bloggers from different walks of life all over the world. Interacting with people from
different countries and different cultures can lead to a good relationship with the people who
can help you started a new venture such as commencing a new business with someone outside
of your country. This can help you get more fans on facebook business page or a celebrity or
other social media sites. Another advantage of having a blog is the ability to make you a master
in the chosen subject. If you write on a specific niche for a long time, it will enrich your
knowledge as you carry on doing research on a particular topic or niche. If you are involved in
blogging as a work at home job, versatility working hours is appropriate for you to find time
for your other day to day activities. Imagine how you can take your kids from school at 3 'o'
clock when you are working in 10 to 5. You have to look for other alternatives in this situation.
When you are a full-time bloggers, it is possible for you to stop all your tasks with this blog on
every day to carry out any other work. As you are your own boss, or maybe just the boss of
your business, it is really a great experience. Most people start a blog just to express their
personal opinion. Then in a starting to take an interest in finding ways in which they can earn
an income from it. Gradually they begin to make revenue by search engine optimization
techniques in combination with the use of the ad along with the blog. Some people start doing
affiliate marketing products or services related to their field, they blog about. any writers who
have published their writings in the form of a novel or short story and has the reputation as a

writer can also run a blog online. This blog serves as an additional supporting to establish
themselves as an expert writer when they get more exposure through blogs and fan pages in
social media. Facebook fan page and twitter act as a trigger to increase the number of fans for
these writers. If you are attending an interview for a specific job, your chances of getting a job
that can increase if you have a blog that specializes in the subject of the interview request. This
is due to the fact that the blog can act as a portfolio of knowledge and skills in photography,
painting, artwork, etc. you Also, there are chances that you may be hired to do the best that you
never expected. It is very easy to set up a blog. You do not have to be very good in the
technical aspect or software to start a blog. Anyone can start a new blog using tools like
Blogger. It can start at any time easily to provide your e-mail address, provided you have the
confidence to have a certain level of proficiency in writing. As I mentioned before about video
and photography skills, you can earn interest and involvement in areas such as web design and
programming languages. It is more likely for you to engage in learning PHP, especially when
you're using WordPress as your tool for blogging. In the early days of, the blog is a platform for
communities to share their views about any topic of their choice. So people started using it as a
hobby. Most of them were people who are personal blogs. The development of the concept of a
blog then look to change from time to time to work alongside with the concept of social media
platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Although the nature of the concept of blogging is
changing, there are lakes all over the blogosphere that people still consider the blogging as a
hobby that is attractive to them and they do not really care about the financial aspects of the
blog. They only have of their personal satisfaction by sharing their views with others. Another
important feature of the blog is the easiness to update any content you want. Decades back
before the advent of the internet, it is almost an impossible task for an author to change the
contents of the book after it was issued in print. The only options available for this update is to
publish another edition. It can be analyzed that the advent of the internet and the development
of the World Wide Web to make drastic changes in the way a writer can approach the whole
process of writing. Blogging changed my way of thinking and attitude towards life. So I
believe it may be similar to most other bloggers. If you are approaching a stage of establishing
yourself as a blogger, you begin to see everything in a different light. You may feel that you are
rewarded for your work with someone else. This can lead you to make yourself more willing
and responsible when dealing with people. You might think that you need to research more to
gain knowledge in the subjects you write so you can deal with any queries relating to your
niche, you write. If you found this post interesting or motivating you to move on with the spirit
of the blog, please share them in the comment section so I can have more ideas for the next
post.

Google owns this web site as they exercise control over what you're allowed to post ads
on your blog. With this ownership issue, a blogger needs to be aware that whatever content
they post on Blogger can be lost if Google decided to shut down the platform. Therefore,
anyone who uses Blogger to backup their content for their blog sites may be deleted by Google
even without notice to the user blog site. Another disappointing feature of Blogger template is
that it does not have so many plug-in that are available at competitive blogging platform, While
professional bloggers can tweak the template a bit, they do not have complete freedom to
customize their blogs. It is because of these characteristics is limited and designs available in
the Blogger template that brings us to another disadvantage of using blogger - a copy or a
similar design blog. Since there are only relatively few existing design templates to choose
from it can be a challenge to create a professional-looking blog site. Most often than not, you
will feel very disappointed to find other sites using the same design as your site. Most people
do not have much to say that is interesting, and / or are unable to write their ideas in a way that
is interesting and clear. I often find that people who have the most time to write have least to
say, and those who have the most to say do not have enough time to write it. Thus, the real
expertise lay hidden in the organization, because you get drowned in trivia. Like practically
everything else on the Web, blogs are easy to start and difficult to maintain. Writing coherently
is one of the most difficult and time consuming for a human to do. So, far from blogs being a
cheap strategy, they are one of the very expensive, because they are time consuming. As a
result, many blogs are not updated, thus damaging rather than enhancing the reputation of the
organization. The organization is not a democracy. Web makes many organizations look like
disorganizations, with multiple tones and opinions. Contrary to what some may think, the
typical customer would prefer if the organization they are about to purchase from is at least
somewhat plausible. There is money in words; the real value, the real value. I'm not a blogger
but I have this newsletter and I can tell you that these 500 or so words that I publish every
week has seen a significant return on investment for me. As an individual, I would highly
recommend that you have some sort of publishing strategy, whether it be a blog, newsletter,
writing articles for magazines, websites or whatever. This is the age where you will build your
professional reputation word by word. Start by finding something that people care about and
that you care about.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WRITING BLOG

blogging. Video tutorial is a must for many of the blogs especially the technical ones where y
may need to teach some ideas to an audience. So those who are running a blog may definitely
try to improve his or her video graphic skills. With personal development comes clarity. Even

with an improved sense of direction, there will always be multiple tasks looking for your
attention. As your personal development improves, prioritisation becomes much easier.
Relationships are a double-edged sword. They either lift you up or drag my down. When you
improve your personal development, you are better able to see which relationships are worth
investing in and which need to be cut loose. My develop the skills to make the most of those
relationships which have the most positive impact on my life. Personal development is a much
used and much maligned term. It is about taking the time and, making the commitment, to
invest in your greatest resource. When my put the effort in to developing yourself, the rewards
are amazing. Many people are put off personal development because the results are not always
measurable. However, the greatest achievers in life know that the key to success is the ability to
manage yourself in a variety of situations. That ability comes through personal development.
Blogging enhance my knowledge and increased knowledge about tourism Malaysia. I'm new to
the blog I hope in the future it will be more helpful to me.

CONCLUTION
That people can read a blog on the internet gives them the opportunity to respond

and/or give criticism to the blog and maybe even supply with following material. Blogging has
changed the info-hierarchy that we knew. The common man has got more to say today, and his
opinions are being heard more often. Before blogging the editors of the large Medias decided
what we needed to know, but blogging has changed all of that. Thats some of the pros of
blogging. There are any downsides to blogging, too. First of all, blogging isnt reliable at all.
People can write whatever they want to without being prosecuted. Secondly, you can find a lot
of shit out there.
