What is a weblog or blog?

A weblog, or “blog” for short, is a kind of website or a part of a website.
It is usually, but not always, run by a single person and they publish bits
of writing on the weblog fairly frequently — maybe a few times each day, or
once a day, or less often. These bits of writing, perhaps called “entries”
or “posts,” generally appear on the front page of the weblog in reverse
chronological order, that is, with the newest entry at the top of the page,
with older entries progressively further down. Entries of a certain age
often disappear from the front page but all entries are usually archived on
separate pages, perhaps organized by date or topic, for posterity.

Entries are usually fairly short, maybe a sentence or a paragraph, but can
be much longer. Entries might be written about other websites or entries on
other websites, including links to them, but they might also be the author’s
thoughts on events, politics, their own life… anything. There is a grey area
between weblogs and journals/diaries which are always more personal and tend
not to link to other websites so much. The most often cited history of
weblogs is Rebecca Blood’s.
