How are Blogs made?

Blogs are commonly generated using one of a variety of software editors that makes publishing a breeze. In many ways it is quite a bit easier to update a blog than it is to use the common Web page editors to revise a Web site. So, it seems that blogs have created a second wave of new pages on the Web, posted by those who previously had been put off by the perceived complexity of using standard editors. One of the leading blogging editing systems, blogger.com, promotes itself as “Push Button Publishing for the People.”
