What is a Blog ?

A blog is a Website where you publish your contents in the form of Posts. Each of these Posts are individual pages of the Blog or website and each of these Posts are displayed in reverse chronological order. The best part about blogs is that anyone can make one. Blogging requires very little or no knowledge of HTML or designing. If you can write a paragraph, you can blog. Blogging gives this freedom. It does not need navigation architecture designs of a website nor a structured menu. You write and get printed - as simple as that. People are using them to communicate with family, for education, for business, and almost anything else you can think of.
