What is Blogging?
A blog is a type of Web site, 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. 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.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal on-line 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 many blogs. A blog can be private, as in most cases, or it can be for group communication purposes.
Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts. An example of a site facilitating this type of blogging is Twitter.
