          A blog (or "web log") is a type of website or part of a website. A person usually maintains blogs to input commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video regularly. However, the postings are normally displayed in reverse-chronological order. (source from Wikipedia)

           Most blogs are interactive to let readers give comments. So many blogs are personal online diaries and some blogs are commentary or news on a particular subject which combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. (source from Wikipedia)
