What is a blog?
A weblog, or blog, is a website where entries are listed in reverse chronological order. In its simplest form, a blog is like a list of journal entries with the most recent entry displaying first. Of course, blogs are used for more complex and interesting functions than just journaling. Blogs can be political, corporate, private or public.
