Like other media, blogs often focus on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news. Some blogs function as online diaries.

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\nTitle - main title, or headline, of the post. \nBody - main content of the post. \nComments - comments added by readers \nPermalink - the URL of the full, individual article. \nPost Date - date and time the post was published. \nA blog entry optionally includes the following:\n\nCategories (or tags) - subjects that the entry discusses \nTrackback - links to other sites that refer to the entry \nA blog site typically contains a list of links, or blogroll, of other blogs that the blog author reads or affiliates with.
