What IS A Blog?

Author: Watch this short video to see what a blog is and what it can do for you….
A blog (a contraction of the term “web log”)[1] is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others 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. The ability of 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 (Art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (Video blogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.

We should get in touch. Are you an active user on top social networking sites like Digg, Facebook, or Stumble Upon? If so, what is your username so we can get in touch to share ideas.
Thank you!
Sario, I am on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/kytka. I look forward to seeing you there!
Have an awesome day!
I’ve heard that placing advertisements on a person’s website earns them revenue. In other words money for the owner. Is this true for you and every other site that display advertisements? Is this what they mean when they talk about affiliates?
Awesome post about Wordpress. I think Wordpress is one of the stronger networks because of the fact that it is supported by so many industries. I also think when Wordpress reveals some of it’s new functions, returning customers will increase to show the real growth of the network. Keep up the good work!
Who else thinks that these videos are pretty cool?
