The word blog was created by a community. This very same community made it popular amongst other people that let themselves be addicted to the idea of blogging.

People that are addicted to Blogging are called Bloggers.

The question is: “What makes a blogger a blogger?” Firstly, bloggers are not journalists. While journalists have studied writing and a great writing experience, bloggers often start from scratch. In most cases they are not expert writers, but on the other hand they are passionate writers. Blog posts that present bare personal experiences are commented the most.

“Bare personal experiences are commented the most…”

…is not exactly a way to improve your blogging, but it might help others to improve their blogging by commenting on your posts or getting interested in the idea of blogging. This brings me to the second answer you can give on what makes a blogger a blogger: the idea of communication. Whenever people comment on your posts you should be commenting on their comment in order to establish communication with your readers. That is, because they are the instrument to improve your blogging. Tell them to tell you what they think about your way of blogging. You will see that they will react on how you should blog. Just because they are your readers, they will decide on quality over quantity and vice versa.
