Daniel of Daily Blog Tips has a group writing contest in which he has asked the participants to define what a blog is. Blog means many things. It has different meaning to different people. If you ask my friend, he would say it is a website and you can make money from it. While if you ask people who blog they have a different definition.

I’m not going to make this a long post and waste your time. I’ll just tell you what a blog is to me. It is only my way of defining blog your definition may vary.

What is a blog?

A blog is a space in the internet which an individual person/a group create to share their knowledge, offer opinions and provide service.

I use a blog to share my knowledge while a company will use a blog to promote their service.

So what does a blog mean to you? Write a blog post or make a comment.

If you are a techcrunch reader or slashdot user, you would love this feed reader which I’m going to talk about in this post. Most people use google reader as the feed reader and I’m no exception to it. But I also use this feed reader called snarfer. I have blogged about this reader before and I have been using it for more than a year now. It is a free software.

Few months ago, snarfer started adding message styles and guess what? They have techcrunch and slashdot style message options. They also have few other styles like outlook express style, ALA style and bleached style. But those who read techcrunch a lot wouldn’t want to miss their blog theme in their feed reader too.

Here’s how the techcrunch theme looks like:

Slashdot Theme In Snarfer:

You can install these themes very easily.

Here’s how you do it:

1. Install snarfer

2. Once you have done it, look for an option called “Add Message Styles” in the left sidebar

3. Select a theme you want to have and install it

4. To apply it to your feeds, go to Tools->Options and click on the appearance tab

5. Select the theme you installed and click on apply

Start reading the feeds in the theme you like.
