What Is A Blog??

A  blog  (a truncation  of " weblog ")   is a discussion or informational website  published on the World Wide Web  consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries (posts). Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order , so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page . Until 2009, blogs were usually the work of a single individual,   occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject or topic. In the 2010s, "multi-author blogs" (MABs) emerged, featuring the writing of multiple authors and sometimes professionally edited . MABs from newspapers , other media outlets , universities, think tanks , advocacy groups , and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic . The rise of Twitter  and other "microblogging " systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into the news media.  Blog  can also be used as a verb, meaning  to maintain or add content to a blog
