What is a blog? This is a question both Patsi and I are frequently asked. Here's a short definition that may help:
A weblog (blog for short) is a basically a website that is instantly and frequently updated by the author, usually focusing on a specific subject or niche. Essentially it's an instant publishing venue for your content.
T.L. Pakii Pierce has a good blog definition on his blog How to Blog for Fun and Profit.
A blog consists of dated entries (posts) that highlight useful information relevant to your topic and your opinion, comments and links for reference.
You can also think of a blog as a knowledge management tool. All your posts can be categorized and archived. Pages are "spidered" by search engines and are therefore searchable within the blog as well as on most search engines.
