Blogging 101

What is a Blog?

A blog (an abridgment of the term web log) is a website, 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. 


Types of Blogs

* There are many different types of blogs, differing not only in the type of content, but also in the way that content is delivered or written.


*Some blogs focus on a particular subject, such as politics, travel, fashion, projects, education, niche, classical music, quizzing and legal blogs (often referred to as blawgs) or dreamlogs.
