A blog is a type of website that is typically used for the personal, private, and informal sharing of thoughts, ideas, and experiences by its author. While most blogs are written in an informal tone, many blogs also contain news, reviews, and other types of content. A typical blog may be made up of several different sections, including a header, posts, comments, and archives. Posts are typically written in a chronological order and are typically made up of a title, a body text area in which the author explains or discusses the content of the post, and a footer that includes the date and time of the post.
Comments are typically left by other readers after reading an article or after viewing a video on a blog. Blogs can be accessed via a web browser or through various applications that are designed specifically for blogs.
