Also known as ‘weblog,’ a blog is a type of website that is usually arranged in sequential order beginning from the most recent entry (post) at the top of the home page to the oldest entry at the bottom. Blogs tend to be updated more frequently than a typical website and is akin to an online diary. A person may use a blog as their personal journal or to simply talk about their favorite hobby. Businesses too make use of blogs to post company-related news items or to update their customers on upcoming product releases.
