'Blog' is short for 'web log' – basically an online diary or journal created by someone to record in writing their thoughts, feelings or views on a specific subject or on life in general.
Usually appearing in chronological order, with the most recent post at the top, a blog can be informative, amusing and often contentious (and sometimes quite tedious). It can contain photographs, cartoons or just text.
It can also have links to other websites or blogs – either ones on similar subjects or ones that are just liked by the blogger and recommended to anyone interested.
Many bloggers invite, even positively encourage, readers to leave a comment about their blog posts, which can then be seen by anyone visiting the site. This interactive, fast-changing approach makes it a fascinating mode of expression and one that's increasingly popular. It's believed that, in early 2011, there were more than 150 million public blogs on the internet.A blog's key features and benefits:
- Usually written by one person or organisation.
- Is made up of 'posts', similar to diary entries.
- Changes regularly.
- Invites visitors to comment or add to the blog.
- Has archives of previous blog posts that can be seen by visitors.
- Can be on any subject.
- Often has extra non-text-based content – for instance, video, art or photographs.
- A list of links to other blogs favoured by the blogger is often present. This is called a 'blog roll'.
