What is a blog? Google defines a blog as a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, written in an informal or conversational style. Wikipedia explains further, “A blog is a discussion or informational website. . . Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page.”
