A Blog is the short form for Weblog. It is an online journal or log that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or the Web site and its purpose and the topics are as wide ranging as the individuals who update them. There are blogs on everything from philosophical musings, to daily activities to commentary on the Internet, social issues, and politics. Some blogs allow readers to respond to the entries and provide their own commentary. The essential characteristics of a blog are its journal form, typically a new entry each day, and its informal style.

The author of a blog is often referred to as a blogger. People who post new journal entries to their blog may often say they blogged today, they blogged it to their site, or that they still have to blog.
