What is a blog?

• A blog (weB LOG: it is a website) is a content management system: an easy way to have a great-looking, up-to-date, easy-to-use, search-engine friendly presence on the web.

How a blog is different from a website?

• weblogs are “post-centric” -- the posting is the key unit -- rather than “page-centric,” as with more traditional websites;
• weblogs typically link to other websites and blog postings, and many allow readers to comment on the original post, thereby allowing audience discussions.
