Blog is a kind of an online diary and like many other words is a term derived from English, specifically from the phrase web log. In Poland the word initially functioned only in coloquial language, but it was quickly accepted in the official language. 

The origins of blog

            At the beginning, blogs had very rigid form as their authors were expected to post entries regularly and focus on the given issues. Most of these blogs almost entirelly concerned the experiences, feelings and thoughts of their authors and provided commentary on their everyday life. Blogs have changed the traditional form of a diary into the modern digital version and they have maintained a similar function - they have provided an opportunity to sort out your thoughts and share them with others.

What does a blog look like nowadays?

            Many services and company websites want to create a knowledge base on a particular topic and that is why they create thematic blogs, so you can see that nowadays there is no necessity that the blog always has to be a kind of a diary. When you maintain a blog it is necessary to post regular entries with the date and the catchy title. Another characteristic feature of each blog is the possibility to add comments under the entries. 

            The contemporary blog mainly preserves the traditional form of dealing with different issues in an organized, exhaustive and consistent way. That means that a single entry usually tries to exhaust a given topic and sometimes moves the discussion to the comments mentioned before. However, the idea of blog is becoming icreasingly diluted due to the fact, that nowadays the goal of its creator is mainly informing his or her audience about the issues around which the blogs are created, rather than about the personal experience or thoughts.

What is a dating blog?

            Also in the world of dating portals, you can find thematic blogs, whose authors post expert entries relating the dating knowledge, so that their users can learn and identify with them whenever they want. Buziak.pl - one of the free dating portals, has also created an expert dating blog where you can read not only a glossary of terms about dating, but also a practical guide that gives advice about how to get to know and understand your partner.
