Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules. Blogs generally include commentary, descriptions of events or other materials such as graphics or videos that you or Intrada can maintain.

Intrada can help you with the first and most important step, developing a plan for success.

1. What is the function or goal of this blog?
2. What features are required or will be required?
3. Who is going to maintain the blog?
4. Who is the target audience?
5. How many topics will be active discussions?
6. Are there any Social Media services to tie together?

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog) or audio (podcasting); all of which are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, one which consists of blogs with very short posts. As of December 2007, the blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs. With the launch of video blogging, the word blog has taken on an even looser meaning that any bit of media wherein the subject expresses his opinion or simply talks about something.

Intrada hosts and supports several different types of blog software. Intrada can research, plan, implement, train your staff and administer blogs to increase the dynamic and overall success of your project.
