What is a weblog/blog?
A blog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically like a "what's new page" or a journal. The content and purposes of blogs varies greatly, from links and commentary about other websites, to news about a company/person/idea, to diaries, photos, poetry, mini-essays, project updates and even fiction.
