What is a Blog?

A blog (or weblog) is a journal (or newsletter) that is frequently updated and posted in reverse chronological order.  Blogs generally represent the personality of the author.

Blogs often focus on a particular subject, such as food, sports, or local news. Some blogs function as online diaries. A typical blog may combine text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic.
