What is a blog?

BLOG invented in 1998

is not a website it is only a webpage that you post content to - starting at the top the newest info is first - viewer scrolls down the page to see the old content.
Blogs and wikis are simply forms of mass communication. Blogs are a medium, just like a webpage, paper, or e-mail. And they can be used for evil. They can spread lies. And as with any medium, people can do good and useful things with them or ridiculous and bad things with them. You can't stop technology from evolving but you have to educate readers about the dangers of believing everything they read.
In short, this is a perfect illustration of the increasing need for Information Literacy skills in the general population. But the "blog" as an entity is simply a medium, not the cause of the problem. Children fail to realize, the internet is conventional word of mouth on steroids.

What is a blog?
Part 1
A blog (a contraction of the term weblog) is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting), which are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, one which consists of blogs with very short posts. As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs.[1] With the advent of video blogging, the word blog has taken on an even looser meaning — that of any bit of media wherein the subject expresses his opinion or simply talks about something.
