A blog is an abbreviated term for "weblog"; it defines the way websites maintain a rolling newsfeed consisting of frequently updated information (typically following in a reverse chronological order). Blogs can host a variety of information, images, videos, articles, etc. Most blogs however will focus on one thing (i.e. the birth of a new child, origami, Dante`s Divine Comedy, street art in RVA, etc.)
