What is a Bl0g?

A blog is a personal diary.
A daily pulpit.
A collaborative space.
A political soapbox.
A breaking-news outlet.
A collection of links.
Your own private thoughts.
Memos to the world.
Your blog is whatever you want it to be.

There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.

In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis.

New content shows up at the top (chronological order), so your visitors can read what's new. They can then comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not.

A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic.

The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.

Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) or sexual topics (Adult blog), and are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts.
