What is it?
Short for Web log, a blog is a Web page that serves as a publicly accessible personal journal for individuals. It is a chronological publication of comments and thoughts. The activity of updating a blog is called "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger." In Journal, Blog entries can include Audio, Video and Pictures as well as the text entries that are standard for bloggers. (See Add Media for more information.)
