Weblog:A blog is a website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order.

A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on photographs (photoblog), videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media. (From Wikipedia)
