Blog post (blog entry)1 Blog comment1 You write a blog post to share your opinion on a particular topic with online readers. The topic could be of general interest, such as leisure, literature, politics or education. The blog could also be a travel diary. Additionally, you can ask for information, advice or other bloggers’ opinions. In your conclusion, you might want to let readers know what you would like them to do: comment on your blog, read a specific book or article, try different foods or join a club – depending on the focus of your blog post. In a blog comment, your goal is to express your opinion on a blog post or another blog comment. Make sure that you have read the blog post (or comment) carefully and fully understand the writer’s view before commenting. Start your blog comment by referring to the blog post or comment, then agree or disagree with the writer, offer or seek advice, make suggestions or share your opinion on the topic being discussed.

They use a range of writing styles, including formal, semi-formal or informal and conversational language, depending on the target audience. Bloggers can address their readers directly and encourage responses. Blogs can vary in format and may even include images or video content where appropriate. Ideally, a blog consists of an introduction, a body and a conclusion, with the latter inviting comments as needed. 1 See the Writing coach in way2go! 5 for sample tasks and answers.
