<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">What is a blog? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The term "Blog" is derived from "Web log." "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a Blog.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Blogs often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some 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 photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Definition from: [|http://www.wikipedia.com]
