Blog

A Blog (or WEB-log as it is commonly known) is a publishing platform for the web that enables just about anyone to instantly publish their content through a simple web-based form, in an easy-to-read columnized format. Most blogs nowadays also enable more rich features such as embedding images, audio (podcasts) or videos.
