Blogging and Network Connection to Servers Explained

Now, you know that blogging is sharing any type of information in the internet.  The next thing that you need to know is how does a blog in the internet works? 

What really happens when you type in to the computer.  I know that most of you know the answer, but for the benefit of the doubt, I'll explain it further.

Technical Aspects of Internet

Sharing information in the internet is quite difficult if you don’t know about the basic of the internet  or network connection.  So, I’ll explain to you how do network and blogging works.  

Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks, where the information is stored in a building facility with lots of hard drives or storage in it, called the Server.  These hard drives have the same function with the computer's hard disk that you’re using right now, which stores information in a form called a data.  

But, these are two times or more powerful than yours.  It needs to handle a lot of data from other customers as well.

These data can be stored and retrieved anytime as long as you have a connection between your computer and the Server.  The people that serve your connection are called the Internet Service Providers (ISP). 

They install cables and satellites or any wireless communication device in order for it to connect your computer to the Server.   The ISP is the reason why you are paying your internet billing every month.

If you take out one of the two, either the Server or the ISP, from the system, then you will not have any internet connection.

How Message Transmits Through the Internet

Let’s say you are sending a tweet using the Twitter, once you write something at the tweet box and presses Enter, that information is stored as data.  

These data will be interpreted by the computer and will be sent through the Internet Service Provider line and to the Twitter Server. 

Twitter will then store this data in their server with your address or Twitter account in it.  After it is stored, Twitter will then send the information back to you through your ISP.  

This time, the message will appear at the Twitter tweets in order for you and your followers see your message.

What is the Recommended Server for Blogging?

Now, blogging is the same with this layout.  In the use, like you, to server connection, you need to connect with a Server and register an account, so you can make a storage for your blog website.  

Websites are handled by servers and there are lots of them in the internet.  Few common examples are Twitter, Facebook, Google, Yahoo others.

Your account in one of those mentioned is a data storage in their Server facilities.  When you access your account, you are then connected to that storage space in their Server.  Then you can open, retrieve, edit and save your data anytime with an internet connection.

For beginners, I recommend to use the Blogger.  These are the advantages for this Server.
