What is a blog?
Blog is an abbreviation for weblogs. This name comes from the fact that early blogs were literally logs or diaries written online. However, this name is misleading since blogs have grown to be much more than diaries. Essentially, blogs are web sites that are:
- Listed chronologically with all written content dated and timestamped;
- Easily created with a web-based form;
- Archived.
- Comments;
- Permalinks, i.e. each posting has its own page to which anyone can link;
- Categories that a post can be labeled with;
- RSS feeds;
- Trackback, i.e. see who is linking to your posts
