Research is defined as the diligent and systematic inquiry or investigation into a subject in order to discover or revise facts, theories, and applications.<ref>http://www.dictionary.reference.com/browse/research</ref> Web searches on [http://www.google.com Google] and [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] allow blog writers to obtain more information on their selected topic, discover what other bloggers have already written,gain more insight on their targeted audience, and increase originality. | ||

Writing about a specific topic does not automatically make a person an expert in the field. Initially, conducting very broad web searches on your topic will generate a great deal of information. It is best to browse through these websites to get a general overview of the topic. When writing a blog it is important to consider the specific purpose of the writing.<ref>Carroll, p.16</ref> After gaining a general overview of the topic, the next step is selecting a specific aspect or view point on the topic to write about. | |||
