A web log, often shortened to "blog," is a web page that contains dated posts, by one or
multiple users, often pertaining to a particular topic. "Blogging" is the act of writing in a blog.
Originally, blogs could only be created by someone who already knew how to build a website. In
recent years, however, many build-your-own-web-log tools have come on to the market, some of
them free, and now, anyone with Internet access can create their own blog.

be updated regularly. The internet is littered with abandoned blogs that haven't been updated in
months or even years.

5. Differentiate blogs from vlogs.
A blog originally came from the word “weblog” or a “web log”. You can think of it as an
online journal or diary, although blogs are used for much more now, like online journalism.
While a vlog is a video blog post. The term can also refer to a blog made up entirely of video
blog posts. Vlog posts are created by creating a video of yourself or an event, uploading it to the
Internet and publishing it within a post on your blog. In short Blogging is the act of writing a
post for a blog which is purely text based & Vlogging is video blog where you use video to
explain everything or mixture of video and text sometimes.
