A Mobile Blog
A mobile blog is a type of blog that is written and submitted via a cellular telephone, internet-connected PDA or other connected portable device in most cases. The advantage of a mobile blog is that it gives the writer a chance to record his or her thoughts immediately, instead of waiting until there is access to a computer, when things can be forgotten. As cell phones, and especially smartphones, have gotten easier to use, this type of phone blogging has become more popular.
Blog Software
Blog software also known as blogware or weblog software, is the software that is used to set up, customize and maintain weblogs or blogs. It supports content and image management, content publication, comment moderation and content syndication. Blogging software can be of the hosted type, the server model type or a hybrid of both.
Hosted blogging software means blog software that does not need to be hosted by users on their own websites. It is usually free and the hosting company is responsible for content storage and database maintenance. All blogs are stored on the company's central server.
The blog can have a customized domain name. Blogs hosted on server models can have unlimited bandwidth and no content restriction. Content on hosted blogs is usually subject to the host company's policies.
A number of blogging applications can be used with both hosted or server model blogs. These include applications for calendars, tag clouds, RSS feeds, blog traffic statistics, spam filters and post sharing options. Users can add different kinds of functional widgets for clocks, news, books, music, photographs and so on.
Blogger, LiveJournal and Typepad are some popular and free hosted blogging services. Blogger also has a free hybrid model that can be hosted on the user's domain, keeping the server code on the company's server. Server blogging services include WordPress and Movable Type.
