What the Heck IS a Blog Anyway?
The free encyclopedia, Wikipedia, defines a blog as follows:
A weblog, which is usually shortened to blog, is a type of website where entries are made (such as in a journal or diary), displayed in a reverse chronological order.
Blogs often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some 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. Most blogs are primarily textual although many focus on photograph (photoblog), videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting).
The word blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
A blog is a kind of “content management system” – a way to organize information in categories of interest to the readers, and that is searchable.
Writing a blog entry is called “posting” to the blog. Many blogs permit and encourage readers to contribute their own knowledge, insights or opinions in the form of “comments” – so look for that feature as well. This enables knowledge to be leveraged and shared, with a community of like-minded colleagues.
