Hi,
Can anyone please tell me what a blog is?

Blog is short for Web Log. It is an on-going interactive journal of nearly any topic. Blogs are frequently updated and provide an excellent medium between the author and the reader. It has become very popular among the young people who refer to it as "blogging". Blogs are used for a variety of subjects such as; personal online diary, food recipes, news commentary or political discussions. There are many blogs that rival some of the larger web sites on the Internet today.

Blogs can be just as dynamic as a web site. Therefore, it can have all of the usual images, videos or any other dynamic audio and/or video elements. There are many places where you can start your own Blog for free. I have listed a few popular places below:
Blogger
Wordpress
