Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004What exactly is a blog?
At the risk of appearing stupid, I have only seen the word blog in the past few weeks, and would like to know exactly what it stands for. I assume it is some kind of log.

That's the etymology of it, but a blog is kind of an on-line diary with interactive features; people can comment on your entries, and you can then follow-up on their comments.

It's *frequently* the case that the owner of a web log has space for others to comment, but not always. There are famous examples of both those with and without comment sections. A couple other conventions: pages appear in reverse chronological order (newest stuff at the top) and each specific post usually has a specific link, so you can share the address (http://wwwand so on) with a friend. Sometimes you get that specific address by clicking the word 'link,' or 'permalink,' or sometimes it's the time of the post.
