What is a Blog?  

Posted by Izwannuddin

So what is a Blog anyway? I am asked every week via emails, conversation and

Instant Messaging chats to define: ‘what is a blog’. If you’re reading this you may well be asking the same question.


For me a blog is a website in which items are posted on a regular basis and displayed in reverse chronological order. The term blog is a shortened form of weblog or web log. Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Individual articles on a blog are called “blog posts,” “posts” or “entries”. A person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”. A blog comprises text, hypertext, images, and links (to other web pages and to video, audio and other files). Blogs use a conversational style of documentation. Often blogs focus on a particular “area of interest”, such as political ,sports, entertainment. Some blogs discuss personal (luah perasaan la,macam2 la.).
