What’s a Blog?

They're everywhere!

A blog is a type of website. They can be as simple as an online diary, or as complicated as a business mega-website for a corporation. Blogs are usually run by either one person, or by a group of writers. They write (or blog–it’s a verb too!) new content and publish it to the web. Blogs can be updated quickly and easily, which makes them a great tool for:

• Casual bloggers who want to let everyone know what they’re thinking about (think of an online diary)
• Not-so-casual bloggers who use blogs as tools to get information and news out there on the web quickly so you can read it (think of a news blog making continuous updates on an unfolding news event)

That’s about it! In a nutshell, a blog is a website you can update easily and often, and then people can read whatever you have to say.
