I have no idea why we call it a “blog”. Or who came up with the name “blog”? And even as my daughter is explaining that a “blog” is a type of “web log” I am very slow putting it together that they took the ‘b’ in “web” and connected it to the “log” to come up with “blog”. Further explanation of how I maintain my blog included such terms as “blog URL”, “back end”, “Google doc” and “bounce rate” only add to my confusion.
URL? She says it is an address for my blog? It must be an acronym? Perhaps “Understood Residents Logistics? My internet investigation indicates that URL is a “Universal Resource Locator”. I am kind of close.
And I can access my blog on the “back end”? How would I go behind my blog? Is there a back door that I can go through to get to my blog? Apparently there is a back door.
After working several years in a warehouse setting, when I heard “Google doc” I honestly picture all the blogs showing up on an internet dock of some kind, to be shipped to various locations, or Understood Resident Logistics.
And “bounce rate”? As a mother of seven children, my first thoughts go to either how fast you can dribble a basketball, or a dryer sheet.
But it’s funny how when you find out you can make money blogging, it all becomes so clear. “Of course I blog.” “My URL is…” And I also know how to go behind my blog. Heck… I even know how to access my “dashboard”! When money’s involved, it becomes somuchmore.
I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog and was compensated, however, the views and opinions are my own.
