    BLOG
                     A Blog or Weblog is a personal online diary or journal that allows us to share our thoughts or
                     ideas. A blog allows us to connect with people with similar interests. We can add videos, pictures
                     and music to our blog and visitors can add comments on the published content too.

                     Blogging is the process of writing, photographing or using other media to self-publish content
                     online. It is one of the most popular ways to put out content that other people on the web can
                     interact with. Blogging gives us the opportunity to voice our opinions. It has also become a platform
                     for businesses to advertise themselves.
                     PODCAST

                     A podcast is like an online on-demand radio show. It can be considered as a medium through
                     which recorded audio information is distributed over the Internet, unlike a radio show where the
                     show is broadcast live. We can listen to these audio files whenever we want. There are thousands
                     of podcasts available ranging from general interest entertainment shows to topics like education,
                     technology, etc. You can listen to podcasts directly from the websites they are posted on or can
                     also subscribe to them using software like iPodder and iTunes. These files can also be downloaded
                     so that we can listen to them on our computers and mobile phones.

                                SAFETY ON INTERNET

                     The following points must be kept in mind while using the Internet services:
                        Never share your personal information with anyone.
                        Always set a strong password as it is difficult to guess thereby securing your accounts.
                        Avoid using public Wi-Fi while accessing your accounts.
                        Avoid opening email received from an unknown person or source.
