What is a blog?
A blog (a portmanteau of the term "web log")[1] is a type of website or part of a website. Blogs are
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.
