What is a wiki?
A wiki is a collaborative web tool that allows users to create and share
information on a website using any web browser. Its content can also be edited from
the web browser that allows sharing of information among users. Some wikis are
available to public. Every user has access to any content anytime and even anywhere
in the world

However, as a responsible user, you should cite you’re your reliable sources
from which the information you have added in the website can be located.

The term wiki was originally named Wiki wiki Web. This was introduced by
Wrad Cunningham in 1995. This word came from the Hawaiian “Wiki wiki” which
means fast or swift.

following:

What is a blog?
A blog is a type of website in the internet which also goes by the name of weblog.
This type of website contains writers who tell about their personal experiences, their
thoughts, and observations about certain places, events, things or issues they have
been involved in. Then, they post these on this website to share them to others. Since
the content is about personal experiences, the website serves as a personal online
diary for these writers. Those who write about their experiences in this website are
called bloggers. Some of the popular topics or issues published on the blog are those
in the field of music, food, travel, and beauty and fashion. These types of blogs are
usually ranked by their popularity based on the number of searches made on Google.
What is nice about blogs besides the chronological log of experiences is that they
provide the readers facts and information about a place, restaurant menus or
recipes, beauty and cosmetic tips, and fashion.

Types of Blogs

1. Fashion blog – contains trends in fashion, seasonal clothing, new fashion

styles/designs from well-known brands, prices, where to source, and the like.
2. Travel blog - contains travelling experiences to both local and international
places, accompanied with pictures including beautiful sceneries, places to eat,
hotels and lodging, shops and directions how to go there for the internet users.

7
3. Music blog – contains updates in album releases of popular singers or bands. It
features music from indie, rock, pop, and songs from local and international
artists.
4. Food blog – contains places to eat popular menus or recipes the bloggers love,
and how to go to the caterings/restaurants. There are also critiques of food
eaten, prices and restaurants they recommend for the readers to visit.
5. Beauty blog – contains beauty products, how they are used, and what they do to
the skin, face and body, prices and ingredients of specific products are also
found in this blog. There are also do-it-yourself beauty products like face
masks. Reviews on well-known brands to customers, make-up looks, and hoe
to do a makeover are interesting topics to read.

Blogging Dos and Don’ts

Blogging is both a privilege and a responsibility. Here are some guidelines to
follow to ensure responsible blogging while enjoying its perks.
1. Always ask permission if you are going to use files created and owned by others
that includes photos, audio, video clips, images, etc.
2. Write respectfully. You may use a conversational or friendly tone, but still be
professional. Do not post anything that is offensive in nature.
3. Write objectively. Write about the things that inspire you but do not be too
subjective. Always back up opinions and suggestions with facts.
4. Choose exciting, timely, and informative topics. However, do not write just, to
appeal to the masses. Write about topics that are interesting, well-organized,
unique, and entertaining.
5. Do not post your personal information.
6. Do not make any personal attack on anybody. Avoid bashing people you do not
like. Instead use your blog for doing positive activities.
