What is a blog?
The word ‘blog’ is derived from the combination of the two words, web and log.
Blogs are virtual diaries created by individuals and stored on the Internet. Blogs generally consist of text and images and can appear in a calendar type format.
Blogs are located on websites which enable people to join as members and create and publish their blogs and diary entries. Blogs can be viewed either by the general public or select groups of people, such as friends.
