Blog
Blog
A Blog (pronounced: /blɒɡ/), is a type of website where content is presented in reverse chronological order. Blogs are typically the work of an individual, a small group, or a company. They often provide commentary, news on a particular subject, or function as more personal online diaries.
Etymology
