What is a Blog?
Blog is another word for Weblog, which is a website that is more like a diary or journal.

A Blogger is a person that writes on the blog, a blog would be a place where a person would write their thoughts and opinions.
A blog can also contain videos and these are known as a video blog or video log but this is usually shortened to Vlog.
Writing On Your Blog
When you write on a blog, these writings are known as posts which is a single piece of writing which can also include links to other websites.
Blogs can have more than one writer (Blogger), these are normally called community blogs, team blogs or group blogs and this is because they are made up of different thoughts from different people.
How Does A Blog Work?
A blog is normally set up so that the reader can leave comments after reading. They can respond to what they have read.
This makes it a good place to start a discussion on the topic written about. You can also voice your own opinion about what was written, for example if you do not agree with what was written or you have a suggestion that you feel would add value to what was written.
Only the author of the blog post can edit or change what was written within the blog post.
A Blog is easy to conquer and maintain.
