What is a blog?

What is a blog?
A blog is an online journal in which people are able to submit diary entries. Subjects risen in blogs can include either a personal diary or hobbies and interests. Blogs often enable others to comment on each entry.

Who uses blogs?
Anyone who wishes to start a blog can do so. Those who become bloggers include people who just simply want to record their day to day lives, aswell as those who want to discuss a specific topic. Some bloggers make a living out of the blog entries that they post online. For example, Perez Hilton, a Hollywood superstar, has his blog read by millions.

What is an RSS Feed and how do we use one?
Really Simple Syndication, commonly known as RSS, is a system used to collect frequently updated web feed formats through an aggregator. Examples of these include blog entries, news headlines, audio and video. 

What are the benefits of RSS and RSS readers?
RSS readers allow you to subscribe to different news feeds. The benefit of choosing which feeds you wish to subscribe to is that news is filtered through an aggregator to show exactly what you wish to see and read.  

In email, what is meant by CC and BCC?
In email, CC stands for Carbon Copy. A carbon copy is used to send the exact message to another address, but to inform the receiver that they are not the intended recipient of the message. BCC, which stands for Blind Carbon Copy, sends a copy of the message to a third party's address without the recipient of the message knowing.
