What is a Blog?


A blog is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.There are many different types of blogs, differing not only in the type of content, but also in the way that content is delivered or written.
