A
Blog or
Weblog is a website where entries are written by one or more authors in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "
Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Many
blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others 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 and is very useful for a class
blog.
