What Are Blogs?

by

In simple terms, a blog (a contraction of the term “Web log”) is an online website, usually maintained by an individual or a corporation with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. 

Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what’s new first. Then they can comment on it or link to it or email you.

Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.
