Do (you) know what is Blog?


According to Blogger™ (2008), it stated out that a blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world. Next, Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules(Blogger™, 2008). In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not.


From Wikipedia,the free encyclopedia (2008), blog (a contraction of the term "Web log") is a web site, 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.

So, I'm sure all of you know what is the meaning of blogging. But why some people don't understand what is blog?

Intrinsic or Extrinsic? Which category you're belong?



Somehow, i have learned this 2 words from someone that i never wish to meet. But now, i have met her.

Actually, No matter who you are, motivation is something that everyone will need in their life from time to time. However, because of the fact that every individual is different it takes different factors to motivate people.

Extrinsic motivation is something that a lot of people are motivated by. It can be defined as motivation that comes from outside of a person. Your motivation comes from outside from rewards such as MONEY or good grades.

Intrinsic motivation is defined as a state in which an individual is motivated by internal factors, as opposed to external agents. In simple words, you just feel very strongly on the inside about doing something! Have you ever taken an action because you thought it was the right or ethical thing to do? Have you ever taken up a cause you know will benefit others or just done something for the sheer joy of it?
