Blogging

• A blog is basically a journal that is available
  on the web (i.e. web log). The activity of
  updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who
  keeps a blog is a "blogger." Blogs are typically
  updated daily using software that allows people
  with little or no technical background to update
  and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are
  almost always arranged in chronological order
  with the most recent additions featured most
  prominently.
