Questions, Blogs, Training in WA
Just what is a question? What is a Blog? What is training?
As of this day, May 2nd 2015, I have been a member of Wealthy affiliates for over a year. I have only asked a few questions because I usually get answers from questions that other members ask. I don't write many blogs because I am not a writer however, I am learning. I mostly write my blogs for my websites so when I do write a blog for WA it is because it does not pertain to my websites. The Training here at WA is equal or better than any university anywhere. I can say that because I have attended several colleges in my life time and yes I do have a degree in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix. What I have seen here at WA is equal or better then the UoP.
What I see happing at WA is not really a problem as much as it is just a misunderstanding of how to use the WA system. It took me awhile to figure out where everything was myself and I probably still do not know where everything is however, I am learning. As a newbie (and I still consider myself a newbie) I did not know that the little pin icon in the top right hand corner was where you select the types of writing you want to do. There is a place to ask questions and it is separate from writing a blogs or writing training material.
A question is a linguistic expression used to make a request for information, or the request made using such an expression. The information requested may be provided in the form of an answer.
Questions have developed a range of uses that go beyond the simple eliciting of information from another party. Rhetorical questions, for example, are used to make a point, and are not expected to be answered. Many languages have special grammatical forms for questions (for example, in the English sentence "Are you happy?", the inversion of the subject you and the verb are shows it to be a question rather than a statement). However questions can also be asked without using these interrogative grammatical structures – for example one may use an imperative, as in "Tell me your name".

A blog (a truncation of the expression weblog)[1] is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web and consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent post appears first). Until 2009 blogs were usually the work of a single individual[citation needed], occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject. More recently "multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and professionally edited. MABs from newspapers, other media outlets, universities, think tanks, advocacy groups and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic. The rise of Twitter and other "microblogging" systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into societal newstreams. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog)
Training is teaching, or developing in oneself or others, any skills and knowledge that relate to specific useful competencies. Training has specific goals of improving one's capability, capacity, productivity and performance. It forms the core of apprenticeships and provides the backbone of content at institutes of technology (also known as technical colleges or polytechnics). In addition to the basic training required for a trade, occupation or profession, observers of the labor-market recognize as of 2008[update] the need to continue training beyond initial qualifications: to maintain, upgrade and update skills throughout working life. People within many professions and occupations may refer to this sort of training as professional development. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Training)
Please do not misunderstand why I am writing this. I am not complaining about how other ask questions in a blog format. I believe that they just do not know where to do it after all, It took me a while to figure it out. Besides it gave me an excuse to finally writing something and contribute to this community which I love. All the stories and inspirational writing that everyone does here really does help me, not just with developing my skills, but with my emotional well being too.
Thanks and have a great day!
