At the risk of sounding like a 70 year old newbie, what is a blog?

Answer 1

Short for weblog. It's basically just an online journal where people write about their experiences, or post cool links. It's just like having your own website except you can say 'It's a blog'.

Hope that helps,

It's a "weblog", or online diary. People also put their creative writing, like poetry, in their blogs. Some people are so successful with their blog (as in, getting enough readers), that they are able to do it full time professionally, vai the advertising revenue generated on their site.

Answer 4

he is right but he left out the fact that you can do so much more with a blog. It's your very own web site that you can customize at will. Using your brain and your common sense you could create the next web masterpiece. Or you could just use it as a journal like the other answer indicated.
