A blog is a website (as stated above, short for weB LOG) on which is placed a series of dated entries. These entries are *commonly* used for diaries, but as you might guess, just because they are dated, doesn't mean that they *have to be* diaries. One of my clients uses them as public education articles - a magazine archive, of sorts. Note that blogger.com even lets you go in and change the dates of blog entries. So I can go in *today* and make a blog entry and change the date so that the entry *appears* to have been made in January of 1868! So, "thar you go..."
The blog also has mechanisms for the blog administrator to allow folks to view the blog, and allow folks to post comments on blog entries, and moderate the comments, and place links to other blogs, and list an index of the titles of blog entries...

The name "blog" is a truncated form of "web log" according to Rebecca Blood's essay "Weblogs: a history and perspective." Blog is used to refer to sites that can best be described as mini sites or mini directories, populated with the site owner's personal opinions. Blogs are now popular for business use as well.

Blog = Web log. Where you write, or log, your thoughts and opinions.
