Blogs provide many useful features, which, I find, usually manifest themselves in the way of gadgets. Gadgets add customizability to blogs, and can really help each blog appear unique.
I think first and foremost of those features is the ability at which blogs allow us to connect. There are numerous ways which one blog can instantly link you to another. You can add a gadget to your blog that will list new posts of all the blogs you're following, as well who wrote the post. That way, someone visiting your blog can easily find out the blogs that interests you, and in turn, may find a few they like.We can also add hyperlinks to our text where a simple link will take you unimaginable places ! Or maybe just Google .
With gadgets we can also create polls, create slideshows, and let our readers know a little bit more about ourselves. One gadget feature I find interesting is the ability to add advertisements to your page. I talked a bit about this in an earlier post. To the best of my understanding, you get paid per click, so you're really trying to draw as many people in with good content.
The list of gadgets goes on and on, and even after having this blog for a couple of weeks, I'm still trying to get them figured out. Add HTML / Javascript to your page?! What does this mean!
What are some of your favorite features of a blog?
I too find the ability to advertise interesting. It really drives creativity and innovations when you think about it. People want ways to earn money so people think about how best to attract attention and an audience. There are also negative aspects to this ability as well. The fact that people are also driven by their addictions kind of leads to us destroying each other as well.
