Blogs are websites where entries are displayed in chronological order, essentially functioning as an online diary for recording personal accounts or reporting news and facts. The term "blog" is a combination of "web" and "log", originating from the earlier term "weblog". Blogging allows for open discussion of topics like news, media, personal experiences, and culture, and has grown increasingly popular as a new forum for sharing opinions.

A blog is a website where entries are written in journal-format.
This is, entries are submitted and displayed in
chronological order. Essentially, a blog is an online diary. It is used to record personal accounts, just as a written diary is used. The term blog is a combination of two words: Web + Log = Weblog.
The term Weblog was
then condensed to the term blog, which is widely used today.
The term blog can be
used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog, or as a noun, as in the website containing the written content itself.
However, a blog can also be used for the
reporting of news and facts-based stories, much like a journal. Blogging has become more and more popular and more widely used, but is, however, just now seeing its potential. Between news, media, personal logs, current events, popular culture, etc.., blogging brings about openness and a new free forum for people to voice opinions.
