A blog is a
user-generated website where entries are made in
journal style and displayed in a reverse
chronological order.
Blogs often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some 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 most early blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on
photographs (
photoblog),
sketchblog,
videos (
vlog), or
audio (
podcasting), and are part of a wider network of
social media.
The term "blog" is a
portmanteau, or, in other words, a blend of the words web and log (Web log). "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
