Blog. It’s such a simple word and yet it can represent so many different things. Blogs came onto the scene originally as somewhat of an online journal, and while they can still be used for that purpose, they’ve also exploded into something so much more.
Blogs are a way to share life, build community, or grow a business. For plenty of bloggers, their blog is their business. And not only can blogs be used for personal or business purposes, they can also be written on any topic under the sun (or all around the sun if you have an astrology blog). That’s the beauty of blogging—it can be whatever you want it to be.
The .blog TLD is a great way for bloggers to showcase their work and we have bloggers in categories across the board. Some are small lifestyle blogs that provide a way for the blogger to share thoughts on life and others are providing a platform for growing business to connect with and sell to their target market.
We want to take a moment to highlight some of the great work done by .blog bloggers.
