What’s A Blog Post?

One of the attendees at the Boston chapter of International Association of Business Communicators meeting on consumer generated media asked the panel to slow down, and explain what exactly we meant by the term, “post.�? It’s always great to go to blogging panel discussions outside the blogging world because you quickly get a reality check that you are using too much jargon and slang.

Blogs are powered by powerful content management systems that allow even non-technical people to build a web page. Once a web page is written and entered into the content management system, the blog author publishes the page onto the web. Bloggers call the process of publishing the web page ‘posting’ and the page itself is a ‘post.’
