What is a blog?
(Shortened name for web-log): A web site, or web site section, that allows real time publication of information including announcements, commentary, news, photos, and/or audio (podcasting), which are then automatically indexed and archived in chronological order.
The posted information is not just available for viewing on the web page to which it's posted, it's broadcast for syndication to any other web site or individual who likes what you have to say.
Blogs are also unique because they allow relatively non-technical users to post and manage information posted to the web.
A blog also allows you to have a web site with interactive two-way communication...your visitors can post comments to your articles or make their own blog posts while you retain complete control of all postings before they're live.
