I was reading an article recently, I saw the acronym CMS and had no idea what the author was talking about…
Computer Monitoring System?
Coal Mining Services?
Crusty Munchy Sandwich?
I had to look it up.
Turns out CMS stands for Content Management System and is something like WordPress.
*Blankly stares at computer*
I’VE BEEN USING WORDPRESS FOR LIKE 5+ YEARS AND DIDN’T KNOW THAT ISH… WHY DO I FEEL SO DUMB!?
So, first it got me thinking. Then it got Lauren and I both thinking… I bet a lot of our blogging fam here at Create and Go runs into this problem too.
Especially our newbie bloggers.

Whether you have been blogging five minutes, five months, or five years, there are certain blogging terms you simply need to know.
To help you out, you will find practically every blogging term under the sun we could think of below.
We’ll start out with the basics so you can get your feet wet. Then, we’ll do a deep dive into a giant A-Z list of additional blogging terms that will be almost guaranteed to come up at some point in a blogger’s life.
Basic Blogging Terms
If you’re thinking about starting your own blog or have already started one, odds are you know what a blogger is. Still, defining even the most basic of terms never hurt anyone.
Who knows? You may learn you’ve been using a term incorrectly or didn’t fully know what it was in the first place.
Let’s stop the guessing game and break it down, shall we?
About Page/Bio Page
These terms are often used interchangeably to describe the page on your blog that contains a short biography about you. The about page will also usually give a general overview of the type of blog content a reader can expect to find on your site.
In some cases, if there are multiple bloggers blogging on one page, there will be multiple bios and headshots to showcase each person contributing to the site.
Article/Blog Post
These terms are used interchangeably to describe a single post on a blog.
Author/Contributor
The name of the person attributed with writing a blog post. When there are multiple contributors to a blog, listing the author is often beneficial so that a reader can find all posts by a single author if they choose to. It also gives proper credit for guest posting.
Blog
A blog is the shortened word for web log or weblog. A blog can consist of a series of online journal entries or articles published by one person or several people. Some blogs only feature posts of text, whereas others may add media such as images, videos, audio or a combination of text and media as well.
Individuals can create them for a variety of reasons and in a variety of blog niches. However, companies and organizations also create them to promote their brands.
Blog content can be both private or public. Private blog content often requires a special link or password to view the material.

Blogger
A blogger can be a person who writes for their own blog, contributes to other people’s blogs, or does both. They can use their own name, or a pen name to do their writing.
Blogging
To create new material that can be added to a blog – yours or someone else’s.
Blogosphere
The world of blogging, aka the collective group of bloggers, and the blogs themselves found online. It’s your community of people.
You can join our blogosphere (online community) if you’re in need of one: Create and Go Blogging Community
Category
A blogging category is a subsection of a blog. For example, let’s say you’re blogging about farming. Your categories might include things like supplies needed to grow crops, how-to instructions for tilling the land, and general advice on things like soil and fertilization.
Here are ours for our weight loss blog:
Some platforms refer to categories as labels or tags. They each mean the same thing. And, when a reader clicks the label, tag, or category name on your blog, they are often redirected to a page that shows them all related posts for that subsection name.
Comments
A comment on a post is a response from a reader. Some bloggers choose to not allow comments, but the comment box is where your readers can interact and engage with you about how they feel about your posts.
This is also where they can ask questions for clarification on subjects that may have not been completely clear.
Later, when you’re getting into the intermediate and advanced stages of blogging, you can use the comment sections to learn what your readers want more of.
This will help you decide on future blog post topics and can help you in product and service creation for things you can sell to your readers in the future.
Dashboard
When you first log into your f of choice, this is the area where you can create and delete posts, view comments, create and delete pages, update plugins and themes, and more.
Draft
A draft on your blog is simply an unpublished piece of content. Once you publish it, it becomes a published post.
Plugin
A plugin is typically defined as a piece of software used on WordPress that adds additional functions to a blog.

Pop-ups
If you’ve been using the internet in the past 10 or 20 years, you probably already know what a pop-up is. It’s a smaller window that literally pops up when you visit a site. Sometimes it’s triggered simply by visiting a page. Other times the trigger is a visitor trying to leave a page, or clicking a link/button.
Spam
Anyone who uses email knows that spam is an unsolicited and often unwanted message that is sent to them. In the blogging world, spam is typically referring to undesired comments that spammers post on a post’s comment section.
However, it can also be used to describe overly commercialized blog content.
When a blogger has too many sponsored posts or inundates their blog with advertisements, that blog is sometimes referred to as a spam blog or spammy blog.
Theme
This refers to your blog’s front end style. It can mean the colors and fonts used on your website, the way your links appear, your page layouts, and where your widgets appear.

Intermediate and Advanced Blogging Terms
Before we go any further, you should know that the blogging terms mentioned below may not always seem like they are blogger specific. The truth is, they are and they aren’t. Let me explain.
As you start getting into intermediate and advanced blogging, you need to know more than just blogging terms.
After all, if you make it to the intermediate and advanced levels, by this point you will most likely be a professional blogger, with a successful online business.
That is why in this list of blogging terms you will find some marketing and online business terms as well.
A
A/B Testing
An A/B test involves splitting the population viewing your message. You give group A one message or piece of media, and group B a different one. Then, you compare the response of each message to learn which one resonated more with your audience.
For example, you could give group A 50% off your eBooks, and give group B a 2 for 1 special. Though they may be getting a similar discount, by testing both sale offers, you can gauge which deal your audience prefers.
This is also a common test for paid advertising and email opt-ins to see what provides better conversions (subscribers, sales, etc.).
Above the Fold
This is the section on a blog that a viewer can read when the page loads before they have to scroll down.
The content “above the fold” is what grabs the readers’ attention first, so you generally want to at least have a good headline above the fold.
Our email newsletter opt-ins always have the call-to-action above the fold:
Affiliate
An affiliate is a blogger that earns a kickback/referral fee when they sell someone else’s products or services. This referral fee is also called a commission and allows you to make money selling products you don’t have to create yourself, and at no additional cost to the purchaser.

Alexa Ranking/Alexa Score
When someone asks what a blog’s Alexa ranking or score is, they are essentially asking how popular it is. It is based on the last 90 days or your site’s traffic, and the lower your score is, the better.
Alt Text
Alt text is also called an “alt description” or “alt tag,” and it refers to the words or phrases you can add to an image that tells your audience what the nature of your image is.
It’s critical you add alt text to images on your blog because it tells search engines what the content of the image is, which can help boost your SEO.
Anchor Text
When a visitor comes to your blog and clicks a hyperlink, this is the clickable text of the link. For example, for the link Create and Go, the words “Create and Go” are the anchor text that becomes clickable by adding a hyperlink to the phrase.
Atom or Atom Feed
The Atom feed was developed as an alternative to RSS feeds. It’s a machine-readable syndication format that is XML-based and allows users to subscribe to websites and blogs so they can easily see the latest updates as they become available.

Autocasting automatically converts text from a website or blog into speech so that it can be downloaded as a podcast/audio file.

B
Backlink

Backlinks can help improve your Google SEO score and help your content get found more in search.
Badbot or Spam Bot
Believe it or not, a lot of the web’s traffic is bots, and some bots are designed to crawl the web adding spam comments to blogs. In some cases, these bots also will collect data such as email addresses from the internet to send unsolicited emails, and viruses.
Beta
When something is still in the testing stage, and not yet available for general use. A person who tests or reads material during this stage is referred to as a beta tester, beta reader, or a beta user.
Black Hat SEO
This is considered an unethical practice of trying to rank higher in search results. Tactics used in Black Hat SEO include stuffing a post with keywords, using private link networks sometimes referred to as private blog networks (PBNs), and cloaking.
A common Black Hat SEO tactic is to fill a meta description or alt text with popular keywords that actually have nothing to do with the content in the post or images.
Blogs caught engaging in the practice of Black Hat SEO can be de-indexed and blacklisted from search results.
Blacklist
When a blog is removed from search engine results. This can occur due to engaging in Black Hat SEO, the appearance of malware on your site, and other suspicious activity on your blog. It can be extremely difficult to remove a site from the blacklist once it’s there.
Blinking
Also known as blog hopping, blinking is when you bounce from blog to blog as a result of clicking links on a page. These links are often found on the sidebar of a blog.
Blog Carnival
Sometimes referred to a linky party or a roundup, a blog carnival is a single post that links to several other posts within or outside of the blog. Blog carnivals generally have a single theme as well.
Blog Sitting/Blogsit

Blogroll
A blogroll is a list of blogs that a blogger likes to read or support.
Bloggerversary/Blogversary/Blogger Anniversary

Bounce Rate
When a viewer leaves your blog, it’s called a bounce. The more visitors come to and bounce away from your blog, the higher your bounce rate is.
High bounce rates can negatively impact your SEO because it tells search engines that viewers don’t like or don’t want the content on your blog.
You can check your bounce rates in Google Analytics:
Brand
The personality of your blog. It’s your logo, your slogan, and the way your blog makes people feel.
C

This is a security feature that usually presents an image consisting of letters and numbers that then requires a user to type in those characters into a text box accurately. The purpose of a CAPTCHA is to prevent or minimize spam.
Click Bait

Click-Through Rate/CTR
Your click-through rate is the number of people that clicked a link on your blog, or that clicked through a link in an email. For example, if you send 100 emails with a link in it, and 10 people click through, your CTR is 10%.
Comment Moderation
Controlling and regulating comments on your blog. You can do this by using a CAPTCHA or by filtering comments for language and content. Content moderation can also mean holding comments in a queue for approval, which allows you to view them and approve or deny them to go live on your blog.

Copyright
The legal rights to physical and intellectual property. In most cases, the person who created the physical or intellectual property owns the copyright. However, if they sell the rights of the property, the purchaser then retains ownership of the copyright.
In the blogging world, if you write original content on your blog, you own the copyrights to that content.

Bloggers often add their blog name and domain to blog directories as a means to generate traffic and backlinks to their site.
Dofollow Link

Editorial Calendar
A calendar designed to help you organize when you will publish content to your blog. It’s a great way to get an overview of themes and topics you would like to post and avoid publishing the same messages over and over again. An editorial calendar can help with brainstorming new blogging ideas as well.
We use Asana to keep track of our editorial calendar and other blogging tasks. I highly recommend it if you aren’t yet using a project management software!
Electronic mail messages you can send to your readers. This is one of those important blogging terms you need to get really comfortable with because at the end of the day, unlike any social media platform you may promote your blog on, only an email list is something you own.
