The term “Blog” is derived from “Web log.” “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

A blog is a user generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order.

Blogs often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on photographs (photoblog), videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media.

Blog was chosen as the word of the year in 2004 by Merriam-Webster. As of October 2006, there are more than 57 million blogs tracked by Technorati and an estimated 100,000 new blogs added daily to the blogosphere.
