Blogs are like an online journal where people with too much time on their hand type about their days. I normally blog when I want to rant. Common blogging sites would be Xanga or LiveJournal.

Yeah, it does sound kind of lame to keep <<blog>> as part of the site name. It's more useful when the site has various content on it, and you could name the blog section. Otherwise, I am getting kind of tired of the word 'blog' on every other site I visit. Viva BonAveo!

he term blog is a blend of the terms web and log, leading to web log, weblog, and finally blog. Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called blogging. Individual articles on a blog are called "blog posts," "posts" or "entries". A person who posts these entries is called a blogger.\n\nA blog entry typically consists of the following:\n\n    * Title - main title, or headline, of the post.\n    * Body - main content of the post.\n    * Comments - comments added by readers\n    * Permalink - the URL of the full, individual article.\n    * Post Date - date and time the post was published.\n\nA blog entry optionally includes the following:\n\n    * Categories (or tags) - subjects that the entry discusses\n    * Trackback - links to other sites that refer to the entry\n\nA blog site typically contains a list of links, or blogroll, of other blogs that the blog author reads or affiliates with.\n[edit]\n\nHow blogs differ from traditional sites\n\nA blog has certain attributes that distinguish it from a standard web page. It allows for easy creation of new pages: new data are entered into a simple form (usually with the title, the category, and the body of the article) and then submitted. Automated templates take care of adding the article to the home page, creating the new full article page (Permalink), and adding the article to the appropriate date- or category-based archive. It allows for easy filtering of content for various presentations: by date, category, author, or other attributes. It allows the administrator to invite and add other authors, whose permission and access are easily managed.\n[edit]\n\nDifference from forums or newsgroups\n\nBlogs are different from forums or newsgroups. Only the author or authoring group can create new subjects for discussion on a blog. A network of blogs can function like a forum in that every entity in the blog network can create subjects of their class. Such networks require interlinking to function, so a group blog with multiple people holding posting rights is now becoming more common. Even where others post to a blog, the blog owners or editors will initiate and frame discussion, manipulating the situation to their specification.\n[edit]\n\nDigital media\n\nWhile straight text and hyperlinks dominate, some blogs emphasize images (such as webcomics and photoblogs) and videos (see videoblogging).\n\nSome textual blogs link to audio files (see podcasting). A notable niche is the MP3 blog, which specializes in posting music from specific genres. New words have been coined for many of these content-oriented blogs, such as "moblog" (for "mobile blog").

The activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger."

A weblog is an online personal journal that is regularly updated on a sometimes daily basis, with a timestamp (date of posting) and a byline (credit of who authored it). In other words, it's nothing more than a cyber version of a diary, in which the author will post thoughts, ideas, feelings, and stories whenever the mood strikes. \n\nAs opposed to a regular web site, a post can literally be published in *real time*. As a result, blogs tend to be more spontaneous and freeform than regular web sites, since the authors can publish their thoughts instantaneously. They also tend to be more personal, since blogs are usually places in which authors talk about events in their personal lives, observations, or whatever feelings they may be having at the moment.\n\nBut not all blogs are personal. Some have just been places for people to post news items that they are interested in, or a gathering place for more than one person to merely post their views about current political, social, cultural or other interesting news events of the day.

A weblog, which is usually shortened to blog, is a website where regular entries are made (such as in a journal or diary) and presented in reverse chronological order. Blogs often offer 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 photographs, videos or audio. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning adding something to a blog.

A weblog (usually shortened to blog, but occasionally spelled web log or weblog) is a web-based publication consisting primarily of periodic articles, most often in reverse chronological order. Early weblogs were simply manually updated components of common websites. However, the evolution of tools to facilitate the production and maintenance of web articles posted in said chronological fashion made the publishing process feasible to a much larger, less technical, population. Ultimately, this resulted in the distinct class of online publishing that produces blogs we recognize today. For instance, the use of some sort of browser-based software is now a typical aspect of "blogging". Blogs can be hosted by dedicated blog hosting services, or they can be run using blog software on regular web hosting services.
