About-

'Blog' and 'blogging' are now loosely used for content creation and sharing on social media, especially when the content is long-form and one creates and shares content on regular basis.

This is a dynamically updating Blog posting website developed primarily using Node Js with EJS template engine and Mongoose as ODM(Object Data Modeling library).
