Whats a blog?
A blog is defined as a frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links. In reality, a blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person’s life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there are as many unique types of blogs as there are people. People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the introduction of automated published systems, most notably Blogger at blogger.com. Thousands of people use services such as Blogger to simplify and accelerate the publishing process. Blogs are alternatively called web logs or weblogs. However, ‘blog’ seems less likely to cause confusion, as ‘web log’ can also mean a server’s log files. You can create your own free blog here at our sister site Blogs Today.

Short for Weblog, blogs began as a type of online diary and usually refer to types of Webpages that are updated or posted to on a regular basis, with the posts appearing in reverse chronological order (most recent at the top of the page). Blog for America brought blogs into the spotlight during the build-up to the 2004 Presidential election, demonstrating that blogs could be much more than an online diary. Blogs can be written by one person or a group of contributors, invite feedback and comments from visitors, and can be syndicated and read via RSS feed.
