Introduction
The structure of a blog refers to the way in which the pages are laid out and navigated.

Traditional website structure
Generally, a website will have a hierarchical structure. It will have a home page at the top level, followed by a second level and so on.



Blog structure
Generally, a blog site will have a linear structure. Blogs are displayed in chronological order, from the most recent post at the top down through older posts. Some blogs organise the content into categories. For example, the Forrester Computing blog organises posts in chronological order, but it can also be viewed by category

Archiving
A good blog site will only show a small number of posts, with older posts available via archives either by date or by subject.

Task 1
(a) Use a blog (possibly your own) and draw a structure diagram to represent it, similar to the one shown above (b) FInd a simple website which is organised hierarchically and draw a structure diagram to represent it, similar to the one shown above

Task 2
(a) Investigate archiving sections of your blog. Is this possible? If so, how is it done? Write a short guide explaining to a novice blogger how they should go about this. (b) Investigate how to go about organising your blog by categories. Is this possible? If so, how is it done? Write a short guide explaining to a novice blogger how they should go about this.
