A Blog is a short name for Web Log. It's a web site in which someone (the blogger) keeps a log. This can be simply a log of the blog owner's daily activity to a log of topics that interest the blogger.

Such log entries range from posting an interesting URL with a short sentence or two, to complete and full, full-blown essays regarding a given topic.

Many blogs also offer a comment section where, after reading a log entry a readers can comment and create a discussion amongst themselves and the blogger over the given log entry.

'Blogs' have been around since the beginning of time, but now that it's become a buzzword, everyone wants one.
