What are blogs anyway? A blog is a regularly updated website consisting of regular article postings. Links to and from other blogs and traditional websites are a prominent feature of most blogs. A blog tends to be focussed on a single topic or issue, and usually invites comments from readers on the posted articles, starting a conversation between writer (called a blogger) and the readers. A blog usually reflects the personality of the writer, and is most often written in a personal and informal style. Isn’t a blog just an online diary? An online diary, or personal blog is only one type of blog. Along with personal blogs, there are many types of business, technology, and professional blogs.
