What is a blog?
A blog, short for "web log," is just a new, easier way to create a web site. Instead of creating pages in HTML and uploading them to a web server, a blog writer ("blogger") writes text and simply clicks a button to publish content, called a post, to the blog. The blog server handles the placement of the post (usually in reverse chronological order, like a journal) within a design template chosen by the user.
Blogs originally started as online diaries but have now evolved to become important sources of news, commentary, and topical information. At the same time, blogs are also becoming popular for families to create simple, private web sites to share news and photos.
