    NEWSGROUP

                     In an online community, a newsgroup is the title given to a discussion group. A newsgroup focusses on
                     a particular topic. The topic is of general interest to all the participants in the newsgroup. All participants
                     share their comments and views on the topic, while also responding to the comments and views of
                     others. This approach facilitates the discussion of a topic. Generally, there is one person, known as
                     News Admin, who manages the newsgroup. The News Admin keeps a check on the comments of the
                     participants. Before posting comments or articles on the newsgroup page, he decides when to stop a
                     discussion and approves them.

                     BLOGGING

                     A blog, short for weblog, is a website that regularly
                     updates new information about any topic. The latest             Factbot
                     posts appear first. An American blogger named Jorn         Page  describes  the  document  and  the
                     Barger coined the term weblog in 1997. It is like a        location. The content on the pages of many
                     journal where you write about your life and thoughts.      websites rarely changes.
                     It is more like a personal diary which is shared online
                     publicly. The text is conversational in style.

                     Blogging is the act of writing and maintaining a blog, which includes photography and other media that
                     are self-published online. Readers of the blog can also comment. When more readers comment, the
                     blog becomes more popular. This made blogging a new type of online business venture. It can also be
                     used for marketing a business or product. Blogs are popular because they are free, easy to access, and
                     you can also contribute by commenting on the content.

                     stories, news, perspectives, etc. Anyone can become a blogger who has an interest in content writing. You
                     just need to create a blog and update it regularly, either part time or full time or simply as a hobby.

                     Difference between a Blog and a Website

                     A website is a collection of static pages such as the home page, contact page, and profile page. On the
                     other hand, a blog contains both pages and posts, but mostly posts. Websites usually don’t change
                     regularly as blogs do. Blogs are based on the idea of orderly release of new content to attract a crowd.
                     Blogs are written in reverse chronological order, i.e., recent posts on the top of the page followed by
                     older posts up to the oldest post. You must have already heard about different kinds of blogs, such as
                     travel blogs, fashion blogs, food blogs, music blogs, fitness blogs, sports blogs, movie blogs, news blogs,
                     and many more. To create a blog on the Blogger website, follow these steps:
