What is a Blog?

What is a blog? The word 'blog' is shortened from the word 'weblog'. It is a web based method of collecting any information that you prefer.

First of all I searched on "what a blog is" before starting to write my blog. This is how I feel. The way I understood may not be the perfect.

A blog (shortened from weblog) is a web based method of collecting any information that you prefer. There is no restriction on what you can or can not blog, it is totally up to the owner to decide whether to have some information or not. This can be maintained as a diary, as a way of expressing your thoughts to the public, as a way of keeping track of the important information and also as a way of making a discussion with the viewers.

All the blogs are displayed with the timestamps and are sorted so that the new blogs are at the top. This makes easy for the visitors to view latest blogs. Blogs provide the visitors with the facility to submit comments, so that this can become a discussion.
