“Blog” is an acronym stemming from the words, “Web Log,” and is defined as frequent, chronological publications of personal or business thoughts and Web links on a blog site.
A blog is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others 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 many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media.
Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts.
A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person's life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there are as many unique types of blogs as there are people.
A “blogosphere” is the World Wide Web environment in which bloggers communicate with each other.
One of the things that is so amazing about blogs is their SIMPLICITY compared to a normal Web site. Think about a "normal Web site." It usually has a home page, with links to lots of sub-pages that have more detail. A “normal Web site” can have thousands of information pages all organized under a home page.
A small business site follows the same format -- it might have a home page and five or 10 sub-pages. Most traditional Web sites follow this format. If the site is small, it is sort of like an online brochure. If it is large, it is like an electronic encyclopedia.
A typical Web site has a home page that links to sub-pages within the site and can contain thousands of articles all organized into big categories. The categories and all the latest stories are accessed from the home page.
A Blog is much simpler:
A blog is normally a single page of entries. There may be archives of older entries, but the "main page" of a blog is all anyone really cares about. A blog is organized in reverse-chronological order, from the most recent entry to the least recent.
A blog is normally public -- the whole world can see it. The entries in a blog usually come from a single author. The entries are usually stream-of consciousness. There is no particular order to them. For example, if I see a good link, I can throw it in my blog.
The tools that most bloggers use make it incredibly easy to add entries to a blog any time they feel like it. People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the introduction of automated published systems, most notably Blogger at blogger.com.
Thousands of people use services such as Blogger to simplify and accelerate the publishing process. If you don't have one...WHY NOT?
