A blog is a website where entries are written in journal-format.

This is, entries are submitted and displayed in

chronological order. Essentially, a blog is an
online diary. It is used to record personal
accounts, just as a written diary is used.
The term blog is a
combination of two
words: Web + Log =
Weblog.

The term Weblog was

then condensed to the
term blog, which is
widely used today.

The term blog can be

used as a verb, meaning
to maintain or add
content to a blog, or as a
noun, as in the website
containing the written
content itself.

However, a blog can also be used for the

reporting of news and facts-based stories, much
like a journal.
Blogging has become more and more popular
and more widely used, but is, however, just now
seeing its potential.
Between news, media, personal logs, current
events, popular culture, etc.., blogging brings
about openness and a new free forum for people
to voice opinions.
