You can compare the blog to your diary. Just like you write in your diary when you have a leisure time, writing a blog on a server-based web site online that is full-blown on the Internet.

The only difference between your diary and blog is that the content of your blog will be visible to anyone from anywhere in the world through the Internet only. And the articles in your diary can be seen by no one but you.

However yes to write in a diary but you have to bear the expense only a paper made diary which costs very little.

But for blogging, you must spend some money. To create a blog that requires domain name, hosting server, theme and more. All of these things have to be purchased even though they are available for free or not, but the free ones are not as durable.
