What is a Blog?

A blog, short for web log, is a virtual way of keeping an on-going diary. They are created as a means of sharing ideas and having discussions about a specific topic. Videos and images can be posted, as well as links to websites with further information. There are a lot of different types of blogs, all differ in layout and containing many varieties of information. All blog posts are dated, so you are able to see if they are up to date. Their main focus is to enable the 'blogger' to put their view across on subjects and have feedback and discussions with others.
