Photoblogs
Photoblogging is a communication tool used to share photos in the same format as a regular blog. But instead of doing the communicating through text and written words, users are able to express opinions with photographs. Photoblogs are a new tool, created in the past decade, which allow yet another medium of communication online.

With any form of blogs, photoblogs are posted, and updated on a regular basis by the author. The photos on the site are shown in order of when they are posted, so they are able to create a story and meaning within its context. The list of photos are shown in chronological order, with the newest ones being posted first; viewers are still able to gain access to older photographs taken, but clicking on links that allow you to navigate through the pages.

Just like regular blogs, photoblogs still require some form of content management systems, which assist the user with their digital technologies, rather than having them built from scratch. One of the interesting facts of photoblogs, is that they are open to anyone, and can be commented and viewer by anyone who is interested in the same ideas as the creator.

The creation of ready-made photoblogs have recently been developed to help first time users get started in this communication medium by having everything already setup for them. This has helped to increase interest in those who may not be as technologically advanced as web-designers.
