What is a Blog?

A blog (or Weblog) is a personal diary or online journal, where you can share information and ideas. It gives you your own voice on the web and enables you to connect with others and to collect and share things that you find interesting. Whatever you want to say, a blog can help you share it.

Your blog can be whatever you want it to be. There are no rules. It can be a way to organize your private thoughts, be a way of reaching out to the world, a daily pulpit, a collaborative space – whatever works for you. As well as text, your blog can contain audio, music, images and video.

Your blog is a place where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New posts will show up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new. Then they can comment on it or link to it if they wish.

They are really easy to make, so you can have one even if you are not very technical. You can read about how to start one here.
