A blog (a Portmanteau of '''web log''') is a website where entries are written in Chronological Order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning ''to maintain or add content to a blog.'' Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject such as food, politics, or local news; some 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 ), Photograph s ( Photoblog ), Sketchblog , Video s ( Vlog ), Music ( MP3 Blog ), Audio ( Podcast ing) or sexual topics ( Adult Blog ), and are part of a wider network of Social Media . Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts. In May 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 71 million blogs.1 HISTORY
