What is a blog ?

A blog is a personal diary, sort of a journal. There are no rules. A blog can be on any topic and can be of any size. The author of the blog determines the topic, content and the size of a blog.

"In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not." - from blogger.com

Some interesting facts about blogs:

1) You don't need to know any programming language to make a blog. It's just like typing in MS Word, in Word you click "Save" after typing a document, here you click "Publish". Yes its as simple as that. Most of the Blogs are maintained by people with little or no technological knowledge.

2) Usually Content is arranged in reverse chronological order (i.e. most recent information (post) is shown at the top of the main page and the older entries towards the bottom).

3) Most blogs are frequently updated (i.e. content/info is added by the author quiet regularly).

4) A blog may contain text, images and links to other blogs, web pages and other media related to its topic (a blog may also contain videos, animations, sounds files etc).

5) As mentioned earlier there are no rules. Here the blogger (author) is the king.
