From Traditional Web Pages to Blogs

When I first started studying Computer Science, in the year 2000, I thought that it would be so cool to have my own webpage. I started to build one using the university’s server. It wasn’t as simple as today; you had to know much more about web design to accomplish what you can do now with a click of a button. Blogs weren’t that popular at that time, actually the term had just appeared a year before and not many people knew about it.

So what’s the big difference between a traditional Web page and a Blog?
A Blog differs from a traditional web page because of its dynamic and interactive nature. They are usually maintained by individuals or small groups that write regular entries of what is news to them. They can be commentaries, description of events, or pieces of creative writing. Most entries are displayed in reverse chronological order and allow visitors to leave comments. 

I hope you enjoy reading my new Blog!
