A blog (short for 'web log') is described by "Wikipedia" as being "...a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video... Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries...The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs."
