From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A blog (a contraction of the term weblog) is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts. As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs.

There are many web hosting providers and you might become confused to choose which one. It is very important that you choose a good web host. Good doesn't mean expensive. Good means reliable with great support. When you choose a web host, make sure they have excellent support. If you have a problem with your web site you want help now, not in a day or two. It can be confusing when choosing a web hosting company because they all look pretty much the same and they seem like they know what they are doing. However, I recommend reading reviews from reliable websites so that you may compare and become more familiar with the hosting companies before making a decision.

There is lots that you can do to get more traffic to your blog. You need to register your blog with the search engines eg: You should use keyword rich content in order to be better indexed by search engines (in your case use words like 'railroad' etc frequently so that when someone goes onto google and search for railroad then google knows that your site is relevant) You should join blogger communities like www.bloggerforum.com and be active, put your url in your signature so there are lots of links to your site on the net.
