' A blog is a type of website that is usually arranged in chronological order from the most recent ‘post’ (or entry) at the top of the main page to the older entries towards the bottom.'Source
‘A weblog is a hierarchy of text, images, media objects and data, arranged chronologically, that can be viewed in an HTML browser.’ Source
‘A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links.’Source
‘From “Web log.” A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a blog is a “blogger.”‘ Source
‘A weblog is kind of a continual tour, with a human guide who you get to know. There are many guides to choose from, each develops an audience, and there’s also comraderie and politics between the people who run weblogs, they point to each other, in all kinds of structures, graphs, loops, etc.’ Source
‘A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. 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 cronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominantly.’ Source
‘A blog is a website in which items are posted on a regular basis and displayed in reverse chronological order. The term blog is a shortened form of weblog or web log. Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Individual articles on a blog are called “blog posts,” “posts” or “entries”. A person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”. A blog comprises text, hypertext, images, and links (to other web pages and to video, audio and other files). Blogs use a conversational style of documentation. Often blogs focus on a particular “area of interest”, such as Washington, D.C.’s political goings-on. Some blogs discuss personal experiences.’ SourceSo,I have quoted most of the definitions of blog.If you are again confused than in my simple words -
Blog is dynamic website which is arranged in chronological order in which the most latest post is at the top of home page and later post is toward the last of home page.
For example you must watch the home of this blog.Blog are usually run by single person but it is not always true as blog could be run by team of professional and you will find many examples of such blogs around the web.Blogs can not be only on a specific topic or niche rather it contains wide range of topics from personal diaries, to photography,to spirituality,to recipes,to hobbies.Blogging has many varieties and application as you can imagine.As a short blog can be used as way of communication around the whole world.This is a place where every can learn ,share ideas,make friends and even do business with people with similar interests from around the world.
Following are the characteristics of blogs.
Archives Archives are like shelf showing the old posts like in the old libraries but here the case is not that but it shows the older post in a systematic manners.On home page it is shown only few of the posts while other post are hidden and when scroll down the pages you will see the older posts.so these post are in the archives of the blogs.For examples if a blog is a few months old and it shows only few post on the home page so where are the old posts?So these posts are in the archives of the blogs.
When I write a post, it goes to the top of the homepage. However, when a new post is published the old one goes one number down in the list. This process is known as circling. When a post gets old it shifts to the older pages. However, this is not the end of the story and these articles are in the archives of the blog.
