What is a Blog?

The word "blog" refers to a web log, like the one you are now viewing. Blogs are a common way to regularly post brief amounts of information. Some of the characteristics of a blog are:

Archives- Usually archives of older posts are organized by month. On the left-hand side of the main blog page you will find an archive link and calendar.

Comments- Often a blog author will allow for comments to postings. See the link below entitled Comments.

Hyperlinks- Blogs often embed links to other sites inside postings. For example, you can research viruses at the Symantec Anti-virus Research Center (www.sarc.com).

Permalinks- This is a link to a individual blog entry that will remain unchanged for future reference. See the link below entilted Permalink.

Blogs usually contain frequent postings to encourage visitors to return on a regualr basis.
