A blog is a type of website where an individual regularly posts commentary, descriptions, or other content like graphics or videos. Entries are displayed in reverse chronological order. Blogs are commonly used to maintain and add content. WordPress is a free blogging platform that is simple to use, has built-in spam protection and analytics, and allows exporting content if upgrading. However, design options are limited and standard codes from social media may not embed. Hypertext is text displayed electronically with references (hyperlinks) to other text that can be immediately accessed, usually by clicking, and forms the basis of linking information on the World Wide Web.
