A blog is basically an online journal, usually available within the public domain for other people to view. Blogs are also used in the form of news sections to websites. There are lots of blog platforms available on the web, with the most popular being wordpress, blogger and livejournal.
The activity of updating a blog is called “blogging”, and someone that owns or uses a blog is called a “blogger”.
Blogs are great for creating discussion, and are reasonably easy to setup on your website. Many websites use blogs as news pages in order to get more traffic to websites, as they can be search engine optimised and Google favours news and blog sites as they tend to be regularly updated, with unique content.
