What Happens To A Blog?


Talk to me like I’m a First Grader.*

(Hmmm, first graders are quite savvy these days.  Actually, I’m thinking, there are some out there who may know what happens to a blog.)  Nevertheless, as a new blogger, having a great time sitting down everyday focusing on meeting the challenge to write words I feel good about publishing, I’ve not been able to ignore questions floating around in my head.

After I’ve laboriously pulled my fragmented, helter-skelter thoughts together into somewhat cohesive language, conveying, finally, to me, a premise that is either entertaining, instructive, enlightening, thoughtful, whatever….where could those words land as a result of posting the blog?

Can some entity use my creation, without my knowledge?   Are blogs Intellectual Property?   Tell me?  Talk to me like I’m a kindergartner.*

Is it possible bloggers may see their words or phrases in advertisements, without having given permission?  Could a blog become part of a think-tank dialogue for people engaged in promoting any type of business, product, or service?  Can anyone tell me what is the full scope of what happens to a blog once it is published as I have published this?   Please let me know. Talk to me like I’m a pre-schooler.*
