What is a blog?

A blog is something that a user can post whatever it is they like. They can post about their interests or something that has happened to them on a particular day. Usually blogs are updated on a particular subject however. A blog can be updated by several users and they are usually kept within a circle of people. The posts are in reverse order with the newest blog being at the top. There are many types of blogs such as personal blogs which are blogs updated by an individual, much of the time just about their life. These are the most popular types of blogs. There are other types of blogging such as micro blogging, corporate blogs and organizational blogs. A blog is different from other websites because most regular websites are updated by many people. Blogs can provide a comment system whereas some websites do not. The major content of a regular website stays the same, but with a blog it is changing all the time. Good blogs are updated daily, it takes longer for a regular website to be updated. A blog often has gadgets on the side of the page, but regular websites also have this feature. Regular websites often use the space they don't use for adverts and a successful blog can also add adverts to their blog.
