BLOG

=Blog=

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A **blog** (a contraction of the term "**Web log**") is a [|Web site], usually maintained by an individual [|[1]], 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//.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal [|online diaries]. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, [|Web pages], and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art ([|artlog]), photographs ([|photoblog]), sketches ([|sketchblog]), videos ([|vlog]), music ([|MP3 blog]), audio ([|podcasting]), which are part of a wider network of [|social media]. [|Micro-blogging] is another type of blogging, one which consists of blogs with very short posts.
